  • Abstract
    We demonstrate the 700-times phase conjugation obtained by DFWM in the QCW-diode pumped slab Nd:YVO4 amplifier. The reflectivity is the highest value, to the best of our knowledge, of that obtained previously by DFWM in a Nd:YVO4 amplifier. The highly efficient PCM can be applied to a high power self-adaptive pulse laser system.
