Abstract
Phase conjugation is a process which transforms an incident optical wave into a counterpropagating, reflected wave /1/. Mathematically in complex notation, the reversed wave amplitude is described as the complex conjugate of the incident wave. In this paper two nonlinear optical effects are described which produce conjugated waves, degenerated four-wave mixing in silicon and stimulated backscattering in various liquids.
