Abstract

The properties of laser resonators with a phase- conjugate mirror (PCM) are usually studied by means of the linear theory of degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) valid only at small signal. However, the recent experimental observation of optical chaos with a phase-conjugate laser1 (PCL) confirms the breakdown of the linear theory at the strong signals required for high PCM reflectivity; optical chaos is the signature of the nonlinear character of the interaction.
