Abstract
This paper reports on self-pumped photorefractive phase conjugation us ing repetitively pulsed high intensity (MW cm(-2)) pulses of nanosecon d duration. An intensity-dependent phase conjugate reflectivity is mea sured experimentally. In the corner self-pumped geometry the direction of beam fanning and corner self-pumping is observed to reverse above a critical intensity. Formation of a higher order spatial mode is repo rted for the external loop self-pumped geometry.
