We report efficient, diffraction-limited, phase conjugation of an XeF (3511-A) laser beam using stimulated Brillouin scattering. Approximately 70% of the 1-GHz bandwidth-locked portion of an injection-locked XeF laser output is phase conjugated by focusing the laser beam at 5 GW/cm/sup 2/ into hexane or isopropanol.
