Abstract
We report what is to our knowledge the first observation of mechanism transformation with wavelength of self-pumped phase conjugation (SPPC) BaTiO3:Ce crystals in the near infrared. in It was found that the SPPC mechanism changed from a backscattering and four-wave-mixing mechanism to a cat mechanism when the pump wavelength was varied from 706 to 770 nm. In addition, SPPC was obtained when the pump beam entered the crystal by the +c face, and a variation with wavelength of optical beam paths in the crystal was also observed.
