Abstract

We demonstrate phase conjugation and aberration correction of femtowatt signals using nearly degenerate four-wave mixing in an atomic vapor. Our theoretical and experimental results are in qualitative agreement and show that the conditions under which the minimum signal can be phase conjugated are similar to the conditions under which the phase-conjugate mirror can be operated near its quantum-noise limit.
