It is shown both theoretically and experimentally that the optimal geo
metry of the speckle beams phase conjugation loop scheme based on phot
orefractive crystals is the ''self-biting'' with the beam diameter bei
ng conserved. A 1.5 times increase of the threshold of the process tha
nks to the introduction of a speckle pattern into the conjugated beam
is predicted.
