Abstract

We have measured the conjugation fidelity produced by four-wave mixing in sodium vapor using weak probe beams that were aberrated by simulated atmospheric turbulence. Near-diffraction-limited (1.3 times the diffraction limit) return beams were obtained for both moderate (D/r0 ≈ 10) and strong (D/r0 ≈ 25) simulated turbulence, down to probe-beam pulse energies of 200 pJ. We believe this to be the first systematic study of conjugation fidelity as a function of probe energy.
