Abstract
We propose a method to generate the phase-conjugate wave of the vector field by degenerate four-wave mixing in a -cut Fe-doped crystal. We demonstrate experimentally that the phase-conjugate wave of the vector field can be generated. In particular, the phase-conjugate vector field has also the peculiar function of compensating the polarization distortion, as the traditional phase-conjugate scaler field can compensate the phase distortion.
