  • Abstract
    The authors describe how the phase-sensitivity problem of optical transistors based on second order nonlinearities may be avoided using two type-II SHG crystals. The first crystal couples the mutually incoherent signal and pump, and the second crystal amplifies this signal. All inputs and outputs may be at the same wavelength
