Over the last three decades, optical phase conjugation (OPC) has been one of the major
research subjects in the field of nonlinear optics and quantum electronics. OPC defines …

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

This book describes the processes of optical information recording in photorefractive crystals
and applications of these materials in phase-conjugating devices, holographic …

The physics of the photorefractive effect is briefly discussed. A coupled-mode theory is then
developed to analyze the coupling of two coherent electromagnetic waves inside a …

Nonlinear optics has been a rapidly growing field in recent decades. It is based on the study
of effects and phenomena related to the interaction of intense coherent light radiation with …

We report on the operation of the double phase-conjugate mirror (DPCM). Two inputs to
opposite sides of a photorefractive barium titanate crystal, which may carry different spatial …

This paper describes various nonlinear optical phenomena in photorefractive media and
selected applications in optical computing. These phenomena include optical phase …

Nonlinear Optics probes in great depth quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, photorefractive
nonlinear optics, the nonlinear optical properties of nematic liquid crystals, and photonic …

Fig. 5.2. Holographic correction of phase distortion. The distorted image is recorded on a
hologram, and the reconstructed beam is made to pass back through the same distorter, The …

We study two-beam interaction in photorefractive sillenite crystals in reflection geometry and
derive analytic expressions for the signal gain and its polarization direction in the presence …
