Abstract
Parametric passive phase conjugation of light beams has been achieved in a Nd:YAG crystal with a population inversion. Parametric generation arises in the field of orthogonally polarized, mutually incoherent li ght waves. These waves consist of a wave incident on the laser crystal and a wave which has traversed a feedback loop. Achieving passive pha se conjugation of a light beam in a laser crystal requires that the fe edback be nonreciprocal in terms of phases and amplitudes. (C) 1994 Am erican Institute of Physics.
