Waveguide resonators with a phase-conjugate mirror.
A waveguide resonator in which one of the mirrors has been replaced by a phase-conjugate mirror is considered. Byusing an effective finite mirror size, it is shown that such a resonator is capable of transverse-mode discriminationwhile providing low coupling loss for the fundamental waveguide mode. It appears that compactness and goodbeam quality can be achieved simultaneously in a phase-conjugate waveguide resonator.
