Quadratic processing and nonlinear optical phase rectification in noise reduction

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Optical spatial phase rectification by limiting quadratic processing in photorefractive two-beam coupling is proposed and demonstrated. We use this limiting quadratic processor to reduce complex multiplicative noise. The principle of compansion (compression and expansion) from serial communication theory is introduced for the first time to our knowledge in parallel optical signal processing. In addition the effect of two-beam coupling compression on the efficiency of beam cleanup is illustrated experimentally and optimized through computer simulation.
