Abstract

We show theoretically and experimentally that the positions of the fringes produced by interference between a wave incident upon a phase-conjugate mirror and the wave leaving the mirror depend on the phase associated with the incident wave. This result is in contrast to that obtained when an ordinary metal mirror is used, in which case the interference pattern is found to be independent of the phase of the incident wave.
