All known polarizers operate through a separation of orthogonal electric field components,
one of which is subsequently discarded. As a result, 50% of the unpolarized incident light is …

A whole beam split step method is developed for photorefractive nonlinear optics. The
nonlinear optical beam coupling process is separated into short steps of diffractive …

Rigorous coupled-wave diffraction theory is used to analyze two-and multi-wave mixing in a
diffusion-controlled photorefractive material which is modeled by the Kukhtarev equations …

The effect of partial spatiotemporal coherence in photorefractive two-beam coupling is

photorefractive nonlinear optics. All of the works are presented by eminent researchers in …

We investigate contradirectional two-wave mixing with partially coherent waves in
photorefractive crystals in the nondepleted pump regime. Equations governing the …

A two-beam coupling interaction of an information-bearing beam with a copy of itself in a
photorefractive medium changes the spatiotemporal nature of the beam. We analyze the …

We introduce a new mechanism for optical bistability at an interface between nonlinear (Kerr
or photorefractive) and linear media for a light wave that propagates from the nonlinear side …
