Our purpose in this presentation is to discuss and demonstrate two multimode
photorefractive systems. The first is a multimode oscillator with “winner-takes-all” dynamics …

We examine the nonlinear dynamics of the optical field that arises from two-wave mixing in a
single-mode photorefractive unidirectional ring resonator. We describe the interaction …

The strong nonlinear optical coupling in photorefractive crystals, such as BaTiO 3, readily
permits the construction of efficient phase-conjugate reflectors and self-pumped optical …

We consider the coupling between two photorefractive unidirectional ring resonators. The
first resonator is driven by an external laser beam via photorefractive two-wave mixing. The …

We report on experimental and theoretical studies of a photorefractive ring resonator
pumped by a 1.06 μm beam and injected with a weak, external, seeding beam. The …

We analyze the stability of two recently demonstrated photorefractive resonator circuits. The
analysis is based on single-mode models of the multimode circuits. The flip-flop, which …

We report on the observation of bidirectional oscillations in a single photorefractive ring
resonator using Ce: BaTiO 3. We show that two oscillation beams can simultaneously be …

We investigate a system through which a variety of competitive dynamics can be optically
realized. The interaction between the dynamical variables, in this case the intensities of …

This thesis addresses three dynamic photorefractive systems: a novelty filter, volume
holographic interconnection, and a ring resonator with both photorefractive gain and loss …
