Due to its myriad applications in many fields of science and technology, novel light
diffraction from specially designed optical gratings is a subject of great interest. Here, we …

Diffraction gratings written in films of nematic liquid crystals doped with multiwall carbon
nanotubes were investigated by measurements of exponential beam-coupling coefficients …

Recent analytical results in the frame of photorefractive spatial-soliton propagation are
exploited to derive a novel scheme for the investigation of space-charge field formation in …

We have developed a compact closed-form solution of the band transport model for high-
contrast gratings in photogalvanic crystals. Our solution predicts the effect of the …

Photogalvanic current and voltage photoinduced by CW laser illumination of Fe-doped LN
reveals quasi-periodic pulsing due to microplasmas discharges. This transformation of …

We have reviewed different types of periodic structures (superlattices) induced by optical,
infrared, and neutron irradiation. Both optical and electrical properties of these superlattices …

We assess the influence of the non-uniformity of a recorded grating on the prediction of the
diffraction efficiency taking into account optical activity, absorption of light, birefringence …

Starting from the three-dimensional version of a standard photorefractive model (STPM), we
obtain a reduced compact set of equations for an electric field based on the assumption of a …

The benefits of a direct visualization of space-charge grating buildup are described. The
visualization is carried out by a simple repetitive computer program, which simulates the …

Photorefractive recording response to sinusoidal intensity pattern in photovoltaic media
under different boundary conditions, namely, open-circuit, crystal-resistor-circuit, short-circuit …
