Abstract

Optical phase conjugation by degenerate four-wave mixing in SF₆ was studied with a cw CO₂ laser. The intensity and angular dependence of reflectivity were measured for the 10.6-μm P(18) line. The results verify the predictions of the inhomogeneously broadened resonant two-level gas model.
