A suite of programs for the numerical simulation of two wave mixing processes in sillenite
crystals is presented. The interacting waves are assumed to possess arbitrary amplitude …

Light-beam profile deformation during scattering with the photorefractive grating formed by
the diffusive, photovoltaic, and drift mechanisms is investigated in the case of anisotropic …

Bismuth metal oxide sillenites ($ Bi\sb {12} SiO\sb {20} $, $ Bi\sb {12} GeO\sb {20} $, and $
Bi\sb {12} TiO\sb {20} $) are widely used as photorefractive elements in optical systems …

We present a new type of phase-conjugate mirror that is based on an externally driven Fabry–
Perot interferometer with intracavity-pumped photorefractive material, which is probed by the …

The stationary coupled wave equations for two-wave mixing experiments in an optically
active, linearly birefringent BSO (Bi 12 SiO 20) crystal are presented. It is shown that there …

We are entering an age where we can engineer and build machines that are enhanced by
the principles of quantum mechanics. These new machines will dramatically change the way …

The stability of stationary states is investigated analytically and numerically for various four-
wave mixing schemes in a photorefractive medium with nonlocal nonlinear response when …

The results are given of recent investigations of the feasibility of using photorefractive
crystals in the construction of optical neural computers and of associative memories. The …
