The relation between two waves propagating in opposite directions–the so-called
bidirectional or counter-propagation-through a common path in turbulent atmosphere has …

Self-aligning of optical links and good wavefront matching in heterodyne detection can be
achieved through the use of phase conjugation. We demonstrate an optical self-aligning link …

Spin-orbital interaction of a photon manifests itself in two effects. The first one is the
influence of the trajectory on the light polarization. The second one is the influence of the …

The one-dimensional wave equation describing propagation and reflection of waves in a
layered medium is transformed into an exact first-order system for the amplitudes of coupled …

We have demonstrated a loop phase-conjugate mirror that has produced up to 200W phase-
conjugate average output power at a 140% reflectivity for a CW input beam at a wavelength …

A transmission hologram with two volume gratings is considered in the regime of wave A
diffracted into wave B via an intermediate weakly excited wave C. In analogy to the …
