Abstract

We report efficient, diffraction-limited, phase conjugation of an XeF (3511-Å) laser beam using stimulated Brillouin scattering. Approximately 70% of the 1-GHz bandwidth-locked portion of an injection-locked XeF laser output is phase conjugated by focusing the laser beam at 5 GW/cm² into hexane or isopropanol.
