Phase-conjugate optics

The Priore effort in France demonstrated an amplification of this exact action in cells, in thousands of successful lab animal tests in the 1960s and early 1970s, but no one could understand the mechanism. At the time, phase conjugate optics as we know it today had not been developed—much less its extension into NLO pumping in the time dimension. Nonetheless, revolutionary cures of terminal tumors, infectious trypanosomiasis, and atherosclerosis were rigorously demonstrated by the scientists working with the Priore method.

Beyond the scope of this article, Anderson explains the operation of the gyroscope in intimate detail and describes two problems that have proved most vexing to manufacturers of the rtng-laser gyroscope, namely, frequency locking at low rotation rates and the bias effect. Improvements In this instrument are expected in the relatively near future heeause of what scientists have recently learned pertaining to the phenomenon of optical phase conjugation.

During the measurement, phase conjugate waves (Figure 2) of fairly high intensities were observed in an ocilloscope. Unusually high values of optical 3rd order non-linear susceptibility were observed for 3a and The value for 3a amounts to more than thousand times higher than that of all-trans polyacetylene.
