Abstract
We have demonstrated experimentally the simultaneous self-conjugation of extraordinarily and ordinarily polarized light waves , with the polarization state preserved, in a crystal. Conjugate waves originate from coupling between and waves by means of a circular photogalvanic effect. The conjugator also takes advantage of the crystal, for which it is easy to generate an extraordinary conjugate beam by photorefractive backscattering. This beam of light is necessary for double phase conjugation.
