Axially symmetric loop phase-conjugation scheme with broadband longitudinally dispersed light beams

A loop phase-conjugation scheme based on an axially symmetric four-wave interaction of focused light beams is proposed. It is shown that, when a longitudinal dispersion is introduced into the light beams, this scheme allows a phase conjugation of spatially coherent broadband radiation. The region of coherent interaction of focused longitudinally dispersed light beams is estimated.
