Abstract :
An experimentally determined coupling coefficient for a single-mode diode laser operated with conventional optical feedback is contrasted with that for phase conjugate feedback. Values are determined to be 0.2±0.0.5, and 0.7±0.1, respectively. These quantitative measurements indicate the enhancement in coupling efficient that can be achieved using a phase conjugate reflector
