Shine a helium‐neon laser at a crystal of barium titanate, and at first the beam merely
passes through the crystal. After a few seconds, however, the incident beam begins to …

More and more, colleges are introducing formal courses on nonlinear science and chaos.
Many students enter such courses already excited about chaos from reading popular …

Self-defocusing of a Gaussian light beam in a bulk photorefractive BaTiGl crystal is
demonstrated. This is a low light intensity process which results from the coupling and power …

This monograph collects together papers by leading researchers in the field of
photorefractive nonlinear optics. All of the works are presented by eminent researchers in …

A nonlinear optical phenomenon, namely, the surface waves in photorefractive crystals with
a diffusion nonlinearity (of the gradient type), is suggested and analyzed. These waves can …

The ability of photorefractive crystals such as barium titanate and strontium barium niobate
to record spatially phase shifted real time holograms with high diffraction efficiency is the …

A laser beam propagating in a photorefractive crystal generates a refractive-index profile
that deflects the beam to one side. This nonlinear deflection can be balanced by total …

We report the observation of high-intensity solitons in a bulk strontium barium niobate
crystal. The solitons are observed by use of 8-ns optical pulses with optical intensities …

We demonstrate experimentally wavelength tuning of second-harmonic generation in
waveguides induced by photorefractive solitons in a KNbO3 crystal. By rotating the crystal …

This book, intended for students, researchers and engineers, is a collection of classic papers
on photorefractive nonlinear optics. Included are landmark papers on fundamental …
