Abstract
Brillouin enhanced four-wave mixing and phase conjugation of microwaves in an unmagnetized hydrogen plasma are observed. Transient and steady-state responses of the plasma and the phase conjugate wave are presented. Low-power, low-density operation agrees well with predictions of simple two-fluid plasma theory.Keywords
