Abstract
An experimental investigation is made of the influence of strong self-interaction of the reference waves on phase conjugation in four-wave mixing of cw radiation in a medium with a thermal nonlinearity. It is shown that the thermal lens formed by the Gaussian reference beams reduces the nonlinear reflection coefficient appreciably (several-fold) and causes a deterioration in the phase conjugation quality.
