Theory of thermal blooming correction by phase conjugation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We predict accurate correction of thermal blooming by phase conjugation, for the case of a nonunity-magnitude reflection coefficient, over a wide range of easily realized experimental conditions. Diffusion relaxes a thermal grating that would otherwise spoil phase-conjugate correction. Phase conjugation is predicted to correct thermal blooming caused by continuous-wave lasers, collimated or loosely focused lasers, pulsed lasers blooming in gases, and broadband lasers.
