Abstract :
Summary form only given. We demonstrated highly efficient phase conjugation in a solid dye laser pumped by a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. Maximum reflectivity up to 210% can be obtained at lower probe and pump fluences. This phase conjugator has the possibility to be a highly efficient and useful optical element for short-pulse laser systems.
