Abstract
Reflectivity scaling of picosecond pulse degenerate four-wave mixing in a Kerrlike medium was studied theoretically and experimentally. Degenerate four-wave mixing experiments using green picosecond pulses in carbon disulfide were performed to study phase-conjugation reflectivity scaling with pump pulse fluence. The experiments showed a nearly linear dependence of reflectivity on pump pulse fluence with reflectivities ranging up to 60% for pump pulse fluences up to 15 mJ/cm2.
