Abstract :
Optical phase conjugation (OPC) is of interest for many applications such as optical resonators, high speed turbulence correction, and the production of the squeezed vacuum state. In the interest of practical implementation of OPC, the simplest method is to produce a phase conjugate mirror (PCM). In the work we have used the PCM as well as the gain associated with the OPC to form a ring laser
