Abstract :
Summary from only given. We present a phase conjugate reflectivity of 150-times obtained by DFWM from a CW diode-pumped Nd:YVO/sub 4/ slab amplifier. To the best of our knowledge, the reflectivity value is the highest ever obtained previously by four wave mixing in a CW saturable amplifier.
