Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic properties: light affects
their electrical conductivity; their optical properties (refractive index, etc.) are affected by …

We report a theoretical investigation of the frequency response of optical interference filters
written in photorefractive materials. Counterpropagating coherent beams interact in the …

The two-wave mixing process in a photorefractive medium is investigated including
nonuniform amplitude distributions of the pump and signal waves, plane-aberrated phase …

Quantum holography is a field of research concerned with interference phenomena arising
from the quantum nature of coherent radiation. While it was initially dominated by theoretical …

The effects of linear absorption on the degenerate and nondegenerate self-oscillation
conditions of a photorefractive phase-conjugate mirror are explored. In this study, phase …

The result of holographic processing is described by using the well-known mode
approximation. This approximation yields new expressions for degenerate read–write …

A numerical model is presented for the analysis of vectorial twobeam coupling in
photorefractive materials. A powerful software tool has been developed for design purposes …

For two incident optical beams at different angles of incidence, a photorefractive cerium
doped barium titanate crystal can facilitate different configurations of self-diffraction into …

Phase conjugation of an optical wave is sometimes referred to as a time reversal of the
wave. By utilizing a barium titanate crystal as a phase conjugator and a micron-sized quartz …

This dissertation consists of two parts. Part I covers the interaction of different types of
photorefractive gratings in phase conjugators formed in BaTiO $\sb3 $. We investigate how …
