Dynamics of Fabry–Perot resonators with a phase-conjugate mirror

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We study the dynamics of a stable Fabry–Perot resonator in which one mirror is a phase-conjugate mirror (PCM) with instantaneous response. The temporal variations in the model are caused by round-trip effects. An exact solution is given in a form of an infinite series. The step-function response is summed exactly. Numerical studies with Gaussian input pulses and PCM reflectivity variations are presented, and their behavior is explained. Approximate formulas for responses to slowly varying pulses are derived. Noise effects are simulated with a model in which the phases of the probe and the amplitude reflection coefficient of the PCM make uncorrelated jumps with Poissonian statistics. The theoretical model is aimed for optimizing experiments on phase-conjugate resonators involving transients and fluctuating fields.
