We report observation of phase conjugation by stimulated Brillouin scattering using KrF-laser radiation (248 nm). The backscattered signal consists of both phase-conjugate and non-phase-conjugate components, which have different temporal behavior. This phase-conjugate Brillouin mirror has been used in a double-pass KrF laser-amplifier system, and as an element in a KrF-laser resonator, to compensate for aberrations and to produce a diffraction-limited output beam.
