Employing thermal gratings recorded in slightly absorbing liquids as a mirror, in an optical scheme with a laser amplifier inside a loop, offers the possibility to build effective phase conjugate lasers, as demonstrated previously for CO2 and Nd lasers [1,2]. We present results of an experimental investigation of Nd:YAG loop laser performance for short (30ns) and long (1ms) pulses.
