Abstract

A new geometry for the conjugation of mutually incoherent light beams is proposed. A theoretical description of this geometry is given, including the development of a three-dimensional model for the determination of the scattered-radiation modal structure and a one-dimensional model for the calculation of nonlinear reflectivities. The geometry is realized experimentally, and a comparison between the experimental data and theory is made.
