Abstract
We present two special features of the Double Phase Conjugate Mirror (DPCM) in photorefractive semi-insulating GaAs. The first one is the apparent discrepancy between the measured photorefractive coupling coefficient for the DPCM, (ΓlDPCM=2.03) and the one of two-beam coupling (ΓlTBC=1.5) in the same crystal. The discrepancy is explained by a theoretical model which includes the effect of absorption. The second feature is the self-frequency detuning of the phase conjugate beams relative to the pump beams in the DPCM. The detuning is necessary to satisfy the DPCM oscillation condition.
