Phase Conjugation of Laser Emission : Proceedings of the Lebedev Physics Institute, Volume 172

This volume presents results from fundamental research on the phenomenon of phase conjugation of laser emission discovered at the Physics Institute of the Academy of Sciences during stimulated scattering in hypersound, and with four-wave interaction in a wavelength range from the visible through the mid-infrared. Fundamentally new optical designs and methods of controlling laser emission are proposed and tested experimentally on the basis of this effect.
