Abstract

The coupled wave equations describing the optical phase conjugation by degenerate four wave mixing DFWM is usually, solved in the so called slowly varying amplitude approximation (SVA), where only the first derivatives of the amplitudes of the probe and of conjugate waves are taken into account. Here, we solve the coupled equations exactly for nonresonance ]interactions. This leads to an oscillatory dependence of reflectivity and of transmittance on the normalized coupling constant, κL. Also the intensity distributions of the probe and conjugate waves show oscillatory beat-like behaviors around the corresponding SWA distributions. The latter can be interpreted as the diffraction of the conjugate (probe) waves from the super-position of the pump-pump and pump-probe gratings.
