Abstract
The time-resolved reflectivity of optical phase conjugation by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. A three-dimensional and transient model of SBS is developed to compare the experimental and theoretical results. Noise initiation of the SBS process is included in the model to simulate the shot-to-shot variation in the reflectivity and the Stokes temporal profile.
