Generation of a time-reversed replica of a nonuniformly polarized image-bearing optical beam

Abstract
We demonstrate the generation of the time-reversed replica of an incident monochromatic image-bearing optical beam that is nonuniformly polarized. A form cf degenerate four-wave mixing in liquid CS2 of beams at 532 nm is employed. We discuss sources of distortion in the vector replica using standard theory of nonlinear beam interaction.
