An optical phase-conjugate resonator, realizad by a Kerr-like phase conjugator,
and represented by a two-dimensional slowly varying envelope plane-wave model is driven to
chaos using two laser pumps in standard four-wave mixing geometry. The relevant
slowly varying envelope wave equations are reduced to a one-dimensional map for intracavity
intensity arising in this analysis are considered using elementary symbolic dynamics methods.
