Patent ID: 11881900

Abstract:
A second transceiver (22) includes a guide light source (22c), a photorefractive crystal (22a), and a frequency control unit (22e). The guide light source (22c) emits guide light (Y3). A double phase conjugate mirror (22m) is formed in a crystal (22a) by scattering of reference signal light (Y1), which has a frequency different from that of the guide light and is incident on the crystal via space (15) after being transmitted from a first transceiver (21) which is a transceiver on the other side, and the guide light that is incident on the crystal in a reverse direction to that of the reference signal light. A frequency control unit (22e) couples the reference signal light emitted from the crystal (22a), which is phase-conjugate light of the guide light generated by the mirror (22m), to an optical fiber (13b).
