Phase conjugation in fluorescein film by degenerate four-wave mixing and holographic process

Phase conjugation is performed in a fluorescein film by a cw Ar ion laser of the wavelength 0.488 μm in a degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) configuration. It becomes apparent that the phase conjugate wave is generated simultaneously by not only DFWM but also a holographic process and that the DFWM and holographic components of the phase conjugate wave have different time constants.
