| Abstract: | Phase-regenerative wavelength conversion is demonstrated experimentally. The simultaneous combination of two nonlinear optical processes, phase conjugation and frequency conversion (Bragg scattering), produces phase-sensitive gain at two new idler wavelengths in addition to the original signal wavelength. This single-stage approach does not require phase-locking of the tunable pump. At maximum pump depletion, amplitude and phase regeneration occur simultaneously. |
