Abstract

The optimal grating shift for four-wave mixing differs from that of two-wave mixing. With temperature control of this shift, the phase-conjugate reflectivity is increased to 400% in negative readout geometry. In the range of strong coupling the phase-shift control leads to bistable behavior of the four-wave mixing reflectivity.
