We study the process of two-wave mixing (TWM) in optically active, electro-optic, and elasto-
optic BSO and BTO crystals. We calculate the TWM gain for arbitrary crystal cut and optimize …

The dynamic response of the photorefractive signal in Bi12Si020 with no external electric
field was studied as a function of temperature. At low temperatures, the response follows the …

We present the results of a comparative experimental study of optical and photorefractive
properties at room temperature of four nominally undoped, single‐crystal, commercially …

A new experimental method for the study of resonance effects and space-charge wave
excitation in photorefractive Bi12SiO20 crystals by using a combination of frequency …

We present original data on experiments with cubic photorefractive crystal Bi12TiO20 under
an external dc electric field in the configuration of Z-scan characterization technique. In …

Making use of the analogy between temporal and spatial subharmonics a simple theory is
developed describing the emergence of beam half way between the input beams. The …

A theory is presented of degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) of arbitrary polarized waves
in an anisotropic optically active photorefractive crystal. Using the method of coupled waves …

The combined use of the photoelectric and electro-optic properties of the Bi 12 SiO 20 (BSO)-
crystal leads to a new possibility of realizing a spatial light modulator. Under certain …

The transverse modes of an oscillator of which the active medium is a Bi_12SiO_20 (BSO)
crystal are expected to be different from those of the passive resonator and of a laser …

Pure and Cr2O3‐doped Bi12SiO20 (BSO) single crystals have been successfully grown
using Czochralski technique. Doping 30 ppm of Cr2O3 into BSO single crystals has lowered …
