The possibility of phase conjugate mirrors (PCM's) with reflectivities exceeding unity was predicted by Yariv and Pepper, 1 and subsequently observed by Bloom, Liao, and Economou, and by Pepper, Fekete, and Yariv. 3 The properties of resonators with PCM's have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Early work employed high intensity Q switched lasers as the pump beams. Because of formal...
