Abstract

The shortest wavelength for which phase conjugation has thus far been observed is at 249nm using a KrF laser source. Both degenerate four-wave mixing (DWFM)⁽¹⁾ and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS)⁽²⁾ have been used to generate phase conjugate (PC) signals at this wavelength. We now report phase conjugate reflections at the shorter 193 nm ArF laser wavelength using SBS from a variety of solvents.
