Abstract
Phase conjugation by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is now a common technique for producing high-brightness output from short pulse solid-state lasers. Near diffraction-limited beam quality has been demonstrated by the 100 W level, and scaling to the kilowatt level1 is in progress. Obtaining high brightness using SBS requires an interplay between the SBS subsystem and the overall laser design.
