Abstract
Injection locking of two laser diodes operating at 681–684 nm with a double phase-conjugate mirror recorded in photorefractive crystal under an external alternating electric field is studied. It was found that there are three different regimes of laser-diode coupling distinguished by the various coherences of the light emitted by the coupled laser diodes. The ability of the photorefractive double phase-conjugate mirror to recover the coherence length is experimentally demonstrated. Advantages of photorefractive fiberlike samples over bulk crystals to record the double phase-conjugate mirror are listed.
