Abstract:
We report self-pumped phase conjugation in a photorefractive liquid crystal light valve with a tilted feedback mirror. This is a new scheme for the self-generation of a phase-conjugate replica and can in general be applied to thin nonlinear layers, opening the way to distortion-correction applications of thin media.
