Abstract
There is a widely held intuitive belief that the coherence length of the light used to build gratings in the photorefractive crystal in resonators used as passive phase conjugate mirrors1 (PPCMs) must be at least as long as the cavity in which the oscillation is generated. We argue that this is not so and report demonstrations of long-cavity PPCMs using multimode Ar-ion laser light and picosecond mode- locked dye laser light.
