Abstract

Phase conjugation by intra-cavity four-wave mixing (FWM) in laser media has been the subject of coherence length of the laser. intense investigation, because of its high reflectivity.¹⁻⁵ Solid-dye lasers combine much of the convenience of solid state lasers with tunability and the high gain of a dye laser. Hence, the use of the solid-dye allows an efficient and compact solid- state phase conjugate mirror.
