Abstract.
We develop a phenomenological model of the double-phase-conjugate mirror grating formation based on geometrical considerations. We show that the grating develops from one lateral side of the interaction zone towards the other side. This model is confirmed by the behaviour of different configurations of a 2-zone double-phase-conjugate mirror. Finally, we obtained stable operation in InP:Fe, this made it possible to implement a 1×8 switch between single-mode fibres at telecom wavelength with 12% global efficiency and 200 ms reconfiguration time.
