Photorefractive self‐defocusing

M Segev, Y Ophir, B Fischer - Applied physics letters, 1990 - pubs.aip.org
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 …

Fast photorefractive self-focusing in InP: Fe semiconductor at infrared wavelengths

D Wolfersberger, N Khelfaoui, C Dan… - Applied Physics …, 2008 - pubs.aip.org
Photorefractive beam self-trapping is investigated in InP: Fe and is shown to occur within
tens of microseconds after beam switch on. This fast response time is predicted by an …

The photorefractive effect—a review
