Nonlinear mixing and phase conjugation in broad-area diode lasers
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6614732
Four-wave mixing is investigated in broad-area diode lasers. Two external fields are injected into the device using a phase-conjugation geometry and the nonlinear four-wave mixing signal observed by performing spectrally resolved measurement of the far field. By varying the injection geometry, the excited mode of the broad-area diode can be controlled. The gain nonlinearity generates a conjugate wave within the device, thereby resulting in far-field emission in the conjugate direction. Nonlinear conjugate signal-efficiency levels of about - 21 dB have been observed.
