Abstract

We present and describe two techniques used for optical detection of ultrasonic signals based on the photorefractive effect. These techniques used the wavefront adaptation properties of the photorefractive effect. In the photorefractive beam combiner, a local oscillator matched to the signal wavefront is created, leading to an homodyne detection system having a large etendue. In the double phase conjugate heterodyne detection system the signal beam wavefront is cleaned by a double phase conjugate mirror and transformed in a plane wave that is sent on a classical heterodyne detection system. Both systems are characterized and used to detect ultrasound.
