Abstract We employ a sample of cold 87Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap to study the impulse responses and spatial characters of backward conjugate waves in a four-wave mixing process. We measure the slow and superluminal group velocities of backward conjugate waves, and find the sensitive variation of the spatial mode of backward waves with the probe-pump detuning and the dependence of the reflectance on the magnetic field, while the trapping magnetic field exists.
