Polarization-resolved optical phase conjugation in an artificial anisotropic Kerr medium.
Optical phase conjugation by degenerate four-wave mixing has been achieved in a liquid suspension of polymer microellipsoids as a result of light-induced rotational effects. Different polarization configurations of the pump and probe beams have been used, and the resulting conjugate polarization states have been discriminated. The results are discussed in terms of different kinds of particle orientational gratings.
