Abstract

Phase conjugation via stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is useful to compensate thewavefront distortion due to the thermally induced aberrations and depolarization of solid statelaser medium. Principle of phase conjugation by SBS, reflectivities and fidelities of SBS forliquid and gaseous medium are discussed and several applications to compensate aberations inlaser oscillator and MOPA system are described.
