Abstract
Generation of phase conjugated optical waves within an active medium of a semiconductor diode laser has been demonstrated recently based on the intracavity four-wave mixing1-4). The methods employed for generation and detect ion of the phase conjugated optical waves are briefly summarized as follows: a probe beam with an angular frequency ω0+ δω is injected into an active waveguide of a semiconductor diode laser, where the standing waves of the oscillating fields serve as the two counter-propagating pumping waves for the four-wave mixing at the angular frequency of ω0. The phase conjugated wave in the frequency domain has to possess the frequency component of ω0−δω, so that this frequency component was detected as an evidence of the generation of the phase conjugated wave.
