Abstract
High-efficiency phase-conjugate mirrors (PCMs) can be constructed by using degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) in atomic vapors.1,2 The nonlinearity that can be achieved by using atomic vapors can be both large and relatively fast (<10 ns). These characteristics are desirable for the creation of wide-bandwidth PCMs that have high phase-conjugate reflectivities. Such PCMs can be useful for optical communications and image processing.1
