In the presence of disorder some of the pump light will be retroreflected, but since the pumps are typically three orders of magnitude stronger than the probe, we neglect this reflection for weak disorder. Also, as long as probe and conjugate reflected and transmitted intensities are sufficiently small, pump depletion can be neglected and the pumps may be taken as constant in the medium.
