Phys. Rev. A 54, 5313–5316 (1996)Photorefractive phase-conjugate reflectivity enhancement due to linear absorptionReceived 3 August 1995; published in the issue dated December 1996 The undepleted-pump photorefractive four-wave mixing equations for the case of orthogonally polarized pumps are solved taking into account the linear absorption of the medium. A phenomenon of the enhancement of the phase conjugate reflectivity due to linear absorption is found to occur for a certain range of the phase conjugator parameters. This phenomenon is shown to occur as a consequence of the existence of the self-oscillatory modes in the presence of linear absorption. © 1996 The American Physical Society. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
