Abstract: The Born approximation is used to analyse the dynamics and to determine the self-oscillation threshold of a system of two coupled phase-conjugating mirrors made of photorefractive crystals. It is shown that the duration of the period before oscillation is governed by the formation of a mode with a conjugate wavefront in a resonator.
