Magneto-optical phase conjugation was performed in a diluted magnetic
photorefractive semiconductor crystal CdMnTe under an applied magnetic
field. The magnetic field removes time-reversal symmetry and quenches
orthogonal components of the phase-conjugate signal for selected fiel
d strengths. The experimental results as functions of magnetic field a
nd incident polarization angle are in good agreement with coupled-mode
theory with transmission gratings during magneto-photorefractive mixi
ng.
