The partial differential equations of Kukhtarev et al.(1977) which describe the time
dependence of hologram formation in photorefractive materials are solved analytically in the …

We report a theoretical model for a photorefractive running hologram in bulk-absorbing
materials in the presence of self-diffraction and use this model to analyze experiments for …

Diffraction properties of a photorefractive hologram have been described previously in most
cases with Kogelnik's uncoupled-recording-wave-theory, which was originally derived for …

A numerical approach has been developed for simulating the recording and erasure kinetics
in photorefractive materials for high modulation of the light-intensity pattern. The recording …

Light-induced refractive index changes—so-called photorefractive effects—in inorganic
electro-optic crystals were discovered by Ashkin et al. in 1966 [1]. Though in the beginning …

Optical storage of information offers great potential for high capacity and speed. A very
promising approach to the embodiment of an optical memory is based on volume storage in …

We report on the recording of stabilized running holograms in photorefractive materials with
arbitrarily selected phase shift φ between the transmitted and difracted beams propagating …

We investigate photorefractive media for which quasi-stabilized ionic gratings can be used
to prolong readout lifetime. We use coupled-transport-mode theory to describe the …

We report the use of active stabilization techniques for the recording of deeply modulated
holograms in LiNbO3: Fe, far exceeding the value required for 100% diffraction efficiency …

Absorption and scattering, or fanning, have a pronounced effect on the observed dynamics
of the photorefractive effect. In this article these effects are included in the coupled wave …
