Based upon the density matrix formulations of nonlinear optical susceptibility, optical phase conjugation via stimulated Brillouin scattering (OPC-SPS) in the presence of a moderately high magnetostatic field is studied in centrosymmetric semiconducting crystals under a parabolic approximation. The magnetostatic field B has a twofold contribution to the coherent radiation - semiconductor interaction through the formation of discrete Landau levels and the sharpening of the density-of-states. Numerical estimations made for an InSb sample at low temperature irradiated by a 5.5 to 6.0 m CO laser reveal enhancement in the value of Brillouin susceptibility in the presence of the magnetostatic field B. This in turn lowers the threshold intensity required for the onset of OPC-SBS. A considerably high reflectivity is obtained when B is increased from 1 to 4.02 T. For experimental observation of OPC-SBS as described in the paper, it may be stressed that the polarization of the laser should be properly determined so that the crystal is effectively centrosymmetric.
