Abstract
Astigmatic beams were phase conjugated and corrected using stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). Experiments have shown that conjugation fidelity is preserved for astigmatic aberrations up to six to eight waves even though threshold is increased. Both the input and output beam quality was measured interferometrically while input and output energies were also monitored.
