Notes:
Theoretical studies of optical phase conjugation via four-wave mixing in a two-temperature laser produced carbon plasma are reported. Starting from Maxwell equations and using the theory of parametric decay instability, analytical expressions of the phase conjugate reflectivity for a steady-state probe have been obtained and numerically evaluated for the case of the laser plasma formed by irradiating a carbon slab target with a Nd:Glass laser operating at λ0=1.06 μ. The variation of reflectivity as a function of frequency and angular mismatch between the pump and probe waves has been considered. It is observed that the reflectivity peaks occur under the situation of resonance when the frequency mismatch equals the ion-acoustic frequency of the plasma. The detailed numerical results are graphically reported and discussed. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
