Origin of phase conjugate waves in self-pumped photorefractive mirrors

We show that stimulated two-wave mixing is the origin of phase conjugate fields in self-pumped photorefractive mirrors. We predict that the bulk photovoltaic effect gives rise to an intensity-dependent frequency shift in the phase conjugate field and is the physical origin for the occurrence of beam fanning.

Self-oscillations in a cavity bounded by a sodium-vapor phase-conjugate mirror pumped by two cross-polarized beams

E. Le Bihan, M. Pinard, G. Grynberg

We have observed self-oscillation in a linear cavity bounded by a sodium-vapor phase-conjugate mirror pumped by two cross-polarized beams. The oscillating beam polarization is analyzed along the directions of the pump polarizations, and different intensities are observed. The introduction of a quarter-wave plate inside the cavity permits the oscillation threshold to be lowered.
