Abstract
Power and beam-width dependences of the performance of self-pumped phase conjugators using a BaTiO3: Ce crystal have been investigated. The incident beam was permitted to enter the crystal by thea-face or the +c-face. In both cases, the phase-conjugate reflectivity was observed to vary with the power and beam width of the incident beam. In the former case, two different optical beam patterns in the crystal can be observed under different conditions. Qualitative explanations are given to some of the results observed.
