Quality of radiation conversion under four-wave mixing on thermal nonlinearity with feedback for both signal and object waves has been investigated at high reflection coefficients. It has been shown that the optimal operating mode of a four-wave converter on thermal nonlinearity is the mode in which the pumping waves have equal intensities and there is a compensation for a phase shift arising from the pumping wave self-action. In this operating mode of the four-wave radiation converter, as compared with the case of the absence of feedback for both signal and object waves, a significant increase in the amplitude reflection coefficient is observed with an increase in the pumping waves intensities. In this case, despite the decrease in the bandwidth of spatial frequencies of the object wave with an increase in the pumping wave intensities, the quality of radiation conver-sion with feedback for both signal and object waves is better than in the absence of feedback.
The coincidence of the amplitude reflection coefficients, half-widths of the spatial frequencies bands of a four-wave radiation converter on thermal nonlinearity with feedback for signal or object waves has been shown at equal pump waves intensity. The dependence of the amplitude reflection coefficient, spatial selectivity of the four-wave radiation converter on thermal nonlinearity on the pump waves intensity has been analyzed. An increase in the half-width of the spatial frequency band is observed with an increase in the pump waves intensity at the compensation for the phase shift arising as a result of the propagation of the pump waves in the medium. There is a threshold value of the pump waves intensity, above which the value of the amplitude reflection coefficient of the four-wave converter with feedback for signal or object waves, is less than in the absence of feedback.
The influence of feedback for both signal and object waves on the amplitude reflection coefficient of a four-wave radiation converter on thermal nonlinearity has been considered. The dependences of the reflection coefficient of a four-wave converter on the parameters of a ring-type resonator, which provides the feedback, and the pump intensity have been obtained and analyzed. It was shown that the use of a ring-type resonator allows one to increase the reflection coefficient of a four-wave radiation converter on thermal nonlinearity by several times.
