Abstract
A new model for phase conjugate mirror reflectivity is derived and applied to a laser cavity with phase conjugate mirror. We find that by matching the phases of transverse cavity and phase conjugate mirror modes, the phase aberration correction ability of the mirror can be significantly improved.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
