Spatial subharmonics in photorefractive crystals

BI Sturman, A Bledowski, J Otten, KH Ringhofer - JOSA B, 1992 - opg.optica.org
We show analytically and numerically that the refractive-index gratings produced by the
photorefractive effect need not be of the same periodicity as the driving light intensity. Even …

[PDF][PDF] Subharmonics in photorefractive crystals

A Bledowski, J Otten, KH Ringhofer, B Sturman - Sov. Phys. JETP, 1992 - jetp.ras.ru
We show that the dielectric grating induced by an external probe in a photorefractive crystal
with the period of the external probe can be unstable against period multiplication. We …

Generation of spatial subharmonic gratings in the absence of photorefractive beam coupling

TE McClelland, DJ Webb, BI Sturman, KH Ringhofer - Physical review letters, 1994 - APS
Using a new experimental geometry, we have proved for the first time that the generation of
spatial subharmonic gratings in photorefractive crystals is not dependent on optical …

Photorefractive subharmonics—a beam-coupling effect?

HC Pedersen, PM Johansen, DJ Webb - JOSA B, 1998 - opg.optica.org
Using the so-called ac field technique, we investigate experimentally the influence of optical
beam coupling on the generation of subharmonic gratings in a photorefractive sillenite …

Higher harmonic gratings in photorefractive materials at large modulation with moving fringes

LB Au, L Solymar - JOSA A, 1990 - opg.optica.org
The nonlinear differential equations describing the response of photorefractive material to a
moving sinusoidal intensity pattern that permits large modulation depth are solved by a …

Grating oscillations and nonlinear effects in photorefractive crystals

MP Petrov, VM Petrov, VV Bryksin, A Gerwens… - JOSA B, 1998 - opg.optica.org
The theory of grating oscillations in photorefractive materials is developed in the linear and
nonlinear approximations for the drift mechanism of holographic recording. The resonance …

Subharmonic generation in photorefractive crystals: application of theory to experiment

BI Sturman, M Mann, J Otten, KH Ringhofer… - Applied Physics A, 1992 - Springer
The main results of the theory of spatial subharmonics in photorefractive crystals are
summarized. The theory shows that Kukhtarev's equations for the photorefractive response …

Parametric oscillation in photorefractive media

HC Pedersen, PM Johansen - JOSA B, 1995 - opg.optica.org
We present an analysis of what is called parametric oscillation in photorefractive media. It is
shown theoretically that when a running grating and a constant electric field are applied to a …

Instability of spatial gratings induced by ac fields in photorefractive crystals

BI Sturman, M Mann, KH Ringhofer - Optics letters, 1992 - opg.optica.org
It is shown that spatial gratings in photorefractive crystals, induced by the standing
interference pattern of two coherent waves and an external alternating electric field, may be …

Nearly degenerate four-wave mixing in photorefractive crystals, an analytical treatment

J Goltz, F Laeri, T Tschudi - Optics communications, 1987 - Elsevier
We extend the standard model of four-wave mixing in photorefractive crystals to the case
where the Bragg-condition is broken by a slight departure from degeneracy. Our analytical …
