Abstract
Summary form only given. By using thermal holographic gratings recorded in slightly absorbing liquids as a mirror with a laser amplifier inside the loop optical scheme offers the possibility to build effective phase-conjugate lasers. We present results of an experimental investigation of Nd:YAG loop laser performance.
