Abstract: In studying the transient behavior of phase conjugation via four wave mixing, it has been noted that very short probe pulses invariably produce considerably broadened conjugate pulses unless the conjugator is inordinately short. The present investigation was therefore undertaken to determine whether a short conjugate pulse might be produced by judicious programming of the probe. It was found that the probe can indeed be tailored to produce an arbitrarily short conjugate signal and, if the conjugating medium exhibits linear absorption, then the total energy in the probe signal is finite. The required probe programming can be determined by numerical evaluation of a Fourier transform.
