Abstract
The spontaneous radiation of a classical oscillator and that of a two-level atom both in the vicinity of a phase-conjugate mirror are calculated and compared. In either case the phase-conjugate mirror may be replaced by a phase-conjugate "image" of the source. We study the dependence of the decay constants and the characteristic frequencies on the phase-conjugate reflectivity and the difference between the characteristic frequency of the radiator and the pump frequency of the phase-conjugate mirror.Keywords
