Optical phase conjugation in a magnetic photorefractive semiconductor CdMnTe.
Magneto-optical phase conjugation was performed in a diluted magnetic photorefractive semiconductor crystal CdMnTe under an applied magnetic field. The magnetic field removes time-reversal symmetry and quenches orthogonal components of the phase-conjugate signal for selected field strengths. The experimental results as functions of magnetic field and incident polarization angle are in good agreement with coupled-mode theory with transmission gratings during magneto-photorefractive mixing.
