We present a study of optical phase conjugation through degenerate four-wave mixing in CuCl, as a function of light frequency, intensity, polarization and sample temperature. The phase-conjugate signal exhibits two maxima at the frequencies of the T 5 exciton (one-photon resonance) and of the biexciton (two-photon resonance). By appropriate combinations of the input beam polarizations, it is possible to single out the various terms contributing to the signal (small-spaced, large-spaced population grating and two-photon coherent excitation). The absolute value of X (3) responsible for the two-photon resonance has been determined ( x (3) (-w,w,w, -w) = 3.10 -7 e.s.u.). It leads to ‘mirror’ efficiencies of the order of 10% for input pump intensities I 0 » 10 5 W cm -2 and sample thickness d» 10 -4 cm. At higher I 0 , a saturation of the reflection takes place. The variation of the conjugate beam with temperature has been studied in the range 15 K < T <70 K. Finally, the phase-conjugate nature of the signal has been verified by inserting an aberrator in the path of the input probe beam, and by checking the reconstruction of the reflected beam.

Optical phase-conjugation (OPC) was observed in Acid blue 9 dye-doped gelatin via degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) using a low-power He-Ne laser at 633 nm. Phase-conjugate (PC) signal measurements were made by varying the angle of incidence between the forward-pump beam and the probe beam in the degenerate four-wave mixing geometry. Growth of phase-conjugate signal with respect to the recording time was also measured. Finally double-exposure phase-conjugate interferometry was demonstrated in these dye doped gelatin films.
