title: Dynamics of the self-starting generation of a phase-conjugate seminlinear mirror.
abstract: It is demonstrated that the self-starting generation for a phase-conjugate semilinear mirror is preceded by the silent zone, which is necessary for preparing a phase-conjugate generation structure in a multimode nonlinear resonator. The threshold for self-starting and the response delay are calculated. The experiment with a strontium barium niobate crystal demonstrates the reasonable quantitative agreement with the theory.
