摘要：

We present a full characterization of a pico-second pulse generation from a Nd:YVO4 double-pass amplifier with a phase-conjugate mirror based on a photorefractive BaTiO3 crystal with an external loop geometry. With this system, 7.4 W diffraction-limited pico-second output was generated. A corresponding optical extraction efficiency of >20% was achieved.
