Abstract

Results of computational modeling of phase conjugation of SBS are presented. Calculations have been done by using three-dimensional code for a case of steady-state scattering of linearly polarized radiation when approximating a given pump field. The pump depletion effect is taken into account in a two-dimensional problem. We discuss the quality of phase conjugation at SS in a wave guide and in focused beams for beams with speckle structure and wave-front distortion typical of Zeidel aberrations (spherical, coma, astigmatism). Calculation results on increments for generalized Stokes modes analogous to Bloch functions in crystals are given.
