Abstract
Brillouin enhanced four-wave mixing and phase conjugation of electroma gnetic waves in weakly collisional fully ionized plasmas are considere d. It is found that the nonlinearity associated with the nonlocal elec tron heat transport may dominate over the ponderomotive force and cons equently there might appear an enhanced degenerate four-wave mixing an d phase conjugation reflectivity.
