Its face surface is subjected to several coherent light beams (CLBs), whose frequencies satisfe the inequality \u0000ε¯≪ℏω≪ε\u0000 g\u0000 (ε\u0000 g\u0000 is the energy-gap width). In this case, as a result of the interference phenomena, there appear new regularities in the character of the high-frequency CLB field influence on free carriers and magnons. Thus, for example, the spatial modulation of collision integrals and high-frequency light waves pressure force on electrons leads to the formation of superlattices of the carrier density, electron and magnon temperatures, electric field strength, and magnetization intensity in the system of non-equilibrium electrons and magnons of FMSC.","PeriodicalId":385625,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Photorefractive Materials, Effects, and Devices II","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126473397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A proof of concept experiment was set up for this objective using an externally-pumped crystal of barium titanate as the phase conjugator. This experiment, reported in Ref. 6, provided the first demonstration of rotation sensing with a PCFOG. In this proof of concept demonstration the length of the fiber-optic coil, and therefore the sensitivity of the gyro, was limited by the coherence length of the laser. To solve this problem we set up a PCFOG consisting of a Michelson interferometer in which the light beams from two arms travel as clockwise and counterclokwise beams respectively, in the same fiber optic coil and reflect from the same self-pumped phase-conjugator. We reported the demonstration of rotation sensing with this PCFOG in Ref. 7. Again, since phase conjugation can correct for modal scrambling, a PCFOG can use multimode fibers. However, complete correction of modal scrambling requires a polarization-preserving conjugator,5 and the corresponding experimental setup of a PCFOG is complicated. To solve this problem we set up a PCFOG using a multimode fiber coil, a nonpolarization-preserving conjugator,4 and a spatial filter to discriminate against the portion of the light reflected by the conjugator that does not correct for modal scrambling. This experiment, reported in Ref. 8, provided the first demonstration of rotation sensing with a PCFOG using multimode fiber.","PeriodicalId":385625,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Photorefractive Materials, Effects, and Devices II","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127693746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
