Abstract

In conclusion, we have investigated the performance of mutually-pumped phase conjugators where the two input beams are partially coherent. For some conjugator geometries our experimental results are in good agreement with our calculations. This study shows that reflection and backscattering gratings have different effects on the performance of different mutually-pumped phase conjugators
