Superhigh-fidelity of phase conjugation at SBS using new-generation kinoform optics
2001
Using the most complete in literature physical model of the non-steady-state stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), the numerical study is carried out of phase conjugation (PC) in the SBS-mirror that consists of an angular selector of Stokes radiation, an ordered raster of small lenses, a main focusing lens, and an SBS-cell. The ordered raster with controlled varying of its parameters allows to perform the effective angular filtering of non-conjugated Stokes component, to reduce the local light loads, and to avoid the competitive nonlinear effects. An optimal configuration of such SBS-mirror has been determined. It has the unique properties as compared with the current SBS-mirrors. It fixedly yields the PC quality that is near to an ideal (the PC coefficient is about of or more than 95%) at the selector transmittance 50 - 70% and any level of SBS saturation, i.e. any reflection coefficient. In the SBS-mirrors of different types the high PC quality in the focused beams takes place at the high reflection coefficients only that is difficult to realize as a rule. The experimental data obtained at a Nd laser facility show the validity of the simulation results. The developed conception of SBS-mirror with unique properties can be applied for the improvement of wide class of industrial lasers.
