Abstract :
In this paper, we have demonstrated, self-pumped phase conjugation with a self-intersecting loop geometry in a Rhodamine-6G solid laser dye saturable amplifier pumped by a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. The maximum phase conjugate reflectivity of 2100% was obtained at 557 nm. The maximum output energy was 71 μJ.
