Abstract :
In this paper, for the first time, image manipulation using a dual- sided phase conjugated lens is discussed. We demonstrate the ability of the lens to magnify and de-magnify images by changing the frequency of the pump wave. In addition we demonstrate the focusing and displacement capabilities of the lens due to amplitude or phase control of the transmitted field. Finally, these diffraction limited image manipulation schemes can be augmented with evanescent-to-propagating field conversion in order to achieve subwavelength image resolution in the far field.
