Abstract

Experimental and theoretical investigations of self-pumped phase-conjugate (SPPC) resonators with four-wave mixing (FWM) in diode-pumped amplifiers are presented. A model that uses a transient treatment of FWM (in one-pass or two-pass geometries) allows us to analyze the temporal dynamics and the energy characteristics of these resonators in both injected and self-starting configurations. The influence of the input energy in the injected case, and the influence of the output coupler reflectivity and diode pump energy in the self-starting case are analyzed. In the self-starting case, the SPPC resonators demonstrate self-adaptive compensation of phase distortions and produce a TEM₀₀ mode in a single-longitudinal-mode pulse by dynamic gain-grating formation with a reasonable optical-optical efficiency.
