Abstract
A laser with an adaptive loop cavity is proposed. During the growth of lasing an additional phase-conjugate cavity, representing a loop syst em with parametric feedback, is formed. It is reported that a single-m ode neodymium laser with an adaptive loop cavity has been built. It op erates on the basis of frequency-degenerate four-wave mixing in a YSGG :Cr4+ crystal. It is shown that the additional phase-conjugate cavity can influence significantly the lasing efficiency.
