title: Nondegenerate optical oscillation in a resonator formed by two phase-conjugate mirrors.
abstract: We find experimentally and explain theoretically that in a resonator bounded by two phase-conjugate mirrors (PCM's), unlike in resonators with one PCM and one conventional mirror, the oscillation frequency differs from that of the pumping beams. Using BaTiO(3) for the PCM, we find extremely small deltaomega/omega approximately 10(-15).
