Abstract
We study the effect of the presence of a phase-conjugate mirror on the evolution of a classical radiating dipole and of a quantum-mechanical two-state atom. In both cases the modified evolution equations are solved and explicit solutions are presented. The evolution of the classical dipole and of the atomic coherences depends on the initial relative phase of the atomic dipole and the phase-conjugate mirror.Keywords
