The polarization properties of Bi/sub 12/SiO/sub 20/(BSO) crystals are investigated in detail
theoretically and experimentally, and the results are used to describe the operation of an …

Perturbative analysis is used to solve the material equations in InP: Fe (including both
temperature and electron-hole effects under an applied dc field) for the second spatial …

We report two-wave mixing measurements in ion-implanted KNbO_3 planar waveguides
and their numerical analysis in the framework of a two-dimensional model that takes the …

Application of large amplitude asymmetric AC electric field to a photorefractive crystal and
illumination by a slowly running sinosoidal interference pattern may lead to resonant …

We have studied two-wave mixing in a Ce-SBN crystal at different pump-to-signal ratios. A
small-signal gain coefficient as high as 15.9 cm/sup-1/at the 633 nm wavelength was …

Nonlinear optical properties of several lead galliate glasses, CdMnTe and CdMnSe
semiconductors, and SBN photorefractive crystals were studied in nanosecond and …

This thesis investigates the optical implementation of neural networks utilizing dynamic
photorefractive volume holography. The number of accessible degrees of freedom in a …

Measurements were made of a constant current induced in Bi 12 TiO 20 (BTO) and Bi 12
SiO 20 (BSO) crystals exclusively by the motion of an interference pattern. A method for …

Photorefractive (PR) nonlinear optical single domain crystals are widely investigated for all-
optical signal processing. 1, 2 KNbO 3 possesses high electro-optic coefficients, very high …

Scope and method of study. The nonlinear optical properties of several classes of materials
were investigated for potential use as optical spatial light modulators. Focus was placed on …
