Abstract
The process of degenerate four-wave and multiwave mixing in a nonlinear medium (with an intensity-dependent refractive index) is reexamined in the context of probe beam amplification and related phase conjugation. In general, such multiwave mixing processes (involving pump, probe, and various diffracted beams) require a self-consistent solution of several coupled Maxwell wave equations to explain and quantitatively fit the experimental observations with the theory.
