Abstract
We show that a double phase-conjugate mirror recorded in photorefractive crystal of Bi12TiO20 under alternating electric field of the square-wave form possesses different efficiency for pump beams entering the crystal from opposite faces. The main reason of the observed asymmetry is a feature of the electrooptic effect in crystals of the cubic symmetry.
