Parametric scattering with constructive and destructive light patterns induced by two mutually incoherent beams in photorefractive crystals

M Horowitz, B Fischer - Optics letters, 1992 - opg.optica.org
We demonstrate a new type of scattering process induced by two mutually incoherent
beams in photorefractive crystals. The input beams may be of different colors. Dark and …

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 …

Phase conjugation involving incoherent counterpropagating beams in photorefractive media

M Segev, A Yariv - Optics letters, 1991 - opg.optica.org
We propose and analyze a new type of phase conjugation between counterpropagating
beams in photorefractive materials based on diffraction from transmission gratings only. This …

Heterodyne interferometer with photorefractive BGO crystals

GR Zurita, R Kowarschik, A Erdmann - Journal of Modern Optics, 1991 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper we show that it is possible to make a heterodyne interferometer with a single
photorefractive BGO crystal using the technique of moving gratings. The main problems of …

Optical bistability in photorefractive four-wave mixing

KD Shaw, M Cronin-Golomb - Optics communications, 1988 - Elsevier
The coupled wave equations for four-wave mixing (FWM) in a cubic, non-optically-active
photorefractive crystal are solved for the case of orthogonally polarized pumping beams. For …

Chaos in photorefractive four-wave mixing with a single grating and a single interaction region

W Królikowski, MR Belić, M Cronin-Golomb… - JOSA B, 1990 - opg.optica.org
We show that the standard model of four-wave mixing in a photorefractive crystal predicts
the appearance of deterministic chaos. In this model there is a single (transmission) grating …

Degenerate four-wave mixing via shifted phase holograms in cubic photorefractive crystals

SI Stepanov, MP Petrov - Optics Communications, 1985 - Elsevier
It is shown that it is possible to increase dramatically the efficiency of stationary four-wave
mixing in cubic photorefractive crystals of the sillenite family. In order to do this one has to …

Spatial light modulation and filtering effects in photorefractive wave mixing

B Fischer, S Weiss, S Sternklar - Applied physics letters, 1987 - pubs.aip.org
In this letter we demonstrate and explain the lack of spatial information crosstalk between
beams in various oscillators by photorefractive CPR) wave mixing (WM). 1, 2 This study is …
