The ability of photorefractive crystals such as barium titanate and strontium barium niobate
to record spatially phase shifted real time holograms with high diffraction efficiency is the …

Fig. 5.2. Holographic correction of phase distortion. The distorted image is recorded on a
hologram, and the reconstructed beam is made to pass back through the same distorter, The …

Recent developments, both theoretical and experimental, involving the nonlinear
interactions of light in photorefractive crystals are reviewed. When pumped by light beams in …

This book describes the processes of optical information recording in photorefractive crystals
and applications of these materials in phase-conjugating devices, holographic …

The possibility of phase conjugate mirrors (PCM's) with reflectivities exceeding unity was
predicted by Yariv and Pepper, I and subsequently observed by Bloom, Liao, and …

A method for sustaining multiply exposed photorefractive holograms, in a phase-locked
fashion, by using a pair of phase-conjugating mirrors is described. It is shown that a steady …

The large effective optical nonlinearities available in photorefractive crystals such as barium
titanate, strontium barium niobate, and lithium niobate make them very convenient vehicles …

Self-defocusing of a Gaussian light beam in a bulk photorefractive BaTiGl crystal is
demonstrated. This is a low light intensity process which results from the coupling and power …

This book, intended for students, researchers and engineers, is a collection of classic papers
on photorefractive nonlinear optics. Included are landmark papers on fundamental …

The development of a theory of four-wave mixing in photo-refractive crystals is described.
This theory is solved in the undepleted pumps approximation with linear absorption and …
