Laser beam noise cleanup using Brillouin mirrors, and the problem of associative memory

Not Accessible

Abstract

Possible ways of laser beam cleanup from speckle noise imposed on this beam are considered. Such a cleanup is required: (1) when a self-focusing instability causes buildup of a parasitic field with a speckle inhomogeneous transverse structure against a high power beam with a diffraction-limited divergence. Speckles can also be generated by the defects of optical elements; (2) when a weak signal with the diffraction-limited divergence is amplified in a narrowband amplifier. It is necessary that the energy in the active elements be transformed into a signal rather than noise of the amplified spontaneous radiation; (3) in designing optical schemes with associative memory, which are capable of reproducing a light beam by its individual fragments.
