Before dismissing something, might want to check the physics: [Concetto R. Giuliano, 1981] Concetto R. Giuliano, "Applications of optical phase conjugation," Physics Today, vol. 34, no. 4, pp. 27-35, Apr. 1981. Abstract: Light waves that are, in effect, time-reversed images of their original can serve to restore severely aberrated waves to their original state. |
This is just a mirror that keeps the shape of the wave intact, but moving the other way (but still forward in time).
