We study the effect of the presence of a phase-conjugate mirror on the evolution of a classical radiating dipole and of a quantum-mechanical two-state atom. In both cases the modified evolution equations are solved and explicit solutions are presented. The evolution of the classical dipole and of the atomic coherences depends on the initial relative phase of the atomic dipole and the phase-conjugate mirror.

Results on modifications to radiative corrections of an atomic dipole, in the vicinity of a phase-conjugate mirror (PCM), from the point of view of stochastic electrodynamics are presented. We show that the PCM can enhance or inhibit the real zero-point field. Also we discuss the existence of a 'Casimir-like' force, an interference pattern in the front of the mirror and a dynamical quadratic Stark-like effect in the atom.
