We show that absorbing photorefractive materials characterized by a space-charge
exponential relaxation time law exhibit an overall hologram optical erasure that is described …

A general formalism based on the Kukhtarev equations is developed to describe the kinetics
of holographic recording and erasure in unipolar photorefractive materials containing …

We explore, theoretically and experimentally, the effects of self-enhancement (or self-
depletion) of the diffraction which occurs during coherent reconstruction from fixed …

We study experimentally the writing of one-and two-dimensional photorefractive lattices,
focusing on the often overlooked transient regime. Our measurements agree well with …

We explore theoretically and experimentally how application of an electric field to a
photorefractive crystal affects the recording and the readout of holograms. We consider, for …

Intrinsic and extrinsic defects are at the origin of photorefraction. Donor and acceptor defects
define the properties of the photorefractive response in particular its dispersive behavior …

Using a perturbational-analysis and Fourier-transform techniques, we solve the Kukhtarev
equations to analyze the steady-state and the transient beam fanning in a photorefractive …

We show that a quasi-steady-state photorefractive spatial soliton forms a waveguide
structure in the bulk of a photorefractive material. Although the optically induced waveguide …

We show that photorefractive media can support a new type of spatial soliton, in which the
diffraction is balanced by the self-scattering (two-wave mixing) of the beam spatial frequency …

We report experimental results that demonstrate for the first time, to our knowledge, more
than 20 holograms stored and recalled with equal diffraction efficiency in photorefractive …
