We consider the spontaneous emission by an atom near a phase-conjugating mirror (PCM). The effect of the PCM on the decay rate may be understood equivalently in terms of vacuum-field modes reflected and conjugated by the PCM, or in terms of vacuum modes transmitted and amplified without conjugation by the PCM.

Spontaneous excitation of atoms near a phase conjugating mirror

It is shown by means of a semiclassical theory that the ground state of a localized collection of two-level atoms is unstable when the atomic sample is sufficiently close to a phase-conjugating mirror with high gain. Any small disturbance causes the atoms to become excited and begin fluorescing, the fluorescence taking the form of a sequence of superradiant pulses. Experiments to test this prediction seem possible.>
