… in the photorefractive medium is analyzed using rigorous … plane waves are incident on
photorefractive materials. Six-wave … dielectric perturbation or modulation function by the equation …

… In this chapter, the standard model accounting for the photorefractive nonlinearity in a material
is presented. The mathematical formalism of the rate equations has been introduced and …

A general approach to photorefractive kinetics, based on the band-transport model, has been
developed for nonphotovoltaic materials in the diffusion regime. For small grating periods (…
