TLDR
In this paper, a nonlinear method for generating a time-reversed replica of any monochromatic-beam wave pattern using counter-propagating plane pump waves in a homogeneous, transparent, nonlinear medium is described.Abstract:
We describe a nonlinear method for generating, nearly instantaneously, a time-reversed replica of any monochromatic-beam wave pattern The method employs the interaction of the incident beam, of arbitrary wave front, with counter-propagating plane “pump” waves in a homogeneous, transparent, nonlinear medium Media are shown to exist in which time-reversed waves can be generated with high efficiency using available laser pump sourcesread more

Optical phase conjugation for turbidity suppression in biological samples.
TL;DR: It is shown that, despite experimental imperfections, optical phase conjugation can force a transmitted light field to retrace its trajectory through a biological target and recover the original light field.

Amplified reflection, phase conjugation, and oscillation in degenerate four-wave mixing
Amnon Yariv,David M. Pepper +1 more
TL;DR: A number of new optical effects that result from degenerate four-wave mixing in transparent optical media are proposed and analyzed and are relevant to time-reversed (phase-conjugated) propagation as well as to a new mode of parametric oscillation.

Compensation for channel dispersion by nonlinear optical phase conjugation.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the process of nonlinear optical phase conjugation can be utilized to compensate for channel dispersion and hence to correct for temporal pulse broadening.

Study of Optical Effects Due to an Induced Polarization Third Order in the Electric Field Strength
P. D. Maker,R. W. Terhune +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a series of experiments in which a giant pulsed ruby laser is used to study several different nonlinear optical effects arising from an induced optical polarization third order in the electric field strength are presented.

On transmission and recovery of three-dimensional image information in optical waveguides*
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that due to modal dispersion, pictorial information is invariably "smeared" in transmission, and given nature's reluctance to transmit pictures through fibers, is there anything we can do about it?

Self-Defocusing of Light by Adiabatic Following in Rubidium Vapor
TL;DR: In this article, the Stokes-law mobility calculation from Ref. 3 is used to normalize the data with the experimental points of Ref. 23 rather than with the measurements of Ref 10.
