Temporally stable continuous-wave phase conjugation by stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fiber with cavity feedback.
Temporally stable high-fidelity optical phase conjugation by stimulated Brillouin scattering of cw laser radiation is achieved in multimode silica fiber with cavity feedback. A power threshold of approximately 500 mW and a reflectivity of 70% were obtained in a 340-m-long fiber with a cw Nd:YAG laser.
