Abstract
An overview of the field of nonlinear optical phase conjugation is given. The basic properties of a phase-conjugate mirror are discussed, and examples of how this technology can be applied to the areas of high-power lasers, optical communication systems, and optical data processing (including neural networks) are presented. It is shown that the massively parallel data processing capabilities inherent in nonlinear optical interactions, coupled with their passive, all-optical nature, make this class of system potentially useful for the next generations of advanced laser systems, remote sensors, and communications systems, as well as optical data processors and network systems architectures.Keywords
