It's in the standard nonlinear optics
journals, texts, etc., plus a search (e.g., with Google) on the web
will turn up lots of papers and work at universities, etc. Many
of these papers can be downloaded (in pdf form, HTML, etc.).
Any technical library can furnish
innumerable references on ordinary phase conjugate optics, etc.
None of these references will tell you how
to "pump" in the time domain, for that has been my own
contribution, as well as how to get that "time-polarized EM
wave" for such pumping. The background for that sort of
thing also uses quantum field theory concepts, particularly the
time-polarized photon.
For starters, here are a few good refs:

scientists only became aware of the time-reversed EM wave when two
Soviet scientists from Moscow's P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute
visited Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in 1972 and mentioned that a
strange backwards-scattered EM wave that restored order after
returning back through a disordering process in optical experiments
had been observed in stimulated Brillouin backscattering.
