Simultaneous wave-front and polarization conjugation of picosecond optical pulses by stimulated Rayleigh-wing scattering.
Using phase conjugation by stimulated Rayleigh-wing scattering (SRWS) in carbon disulfide, we have observed simultaneous correction of wave-front and polarization distortions. SRWS was excited by pulses of 20-psec duration containing as much as 15 microJ of energy at a wavelength of 0.53 microm and produced phase-conjugate reflectivities as large as 10%.
