Abstract:
Quality of phase conjugation via a four-wave radiation converter in thermal nonlinear media is studied by the method of the point spread function. We investigate dependence of the width of module point spread function for the quotient of wave numbers of the pumping waves, for the thickness nonlinear stratum, for the angle between the scanning wave and the recording wave and for parameters of the pumping waves.

Key words:
phase conjugation, four-wave radiation converter, thermal nonlinearity.
