We describe how optical beams from a mode-locked laser will couple in a photorefractive
crystal. We show that the two-beam-coupling gain coefficient is proportional to the square of …

We demonstrate a new technique for displaying the electric field autocorrelation function of
11 laser pulse in real time, using two-beam coupling in 11 photorefractive crystal. This …

We report on a slowing down of light pulses using degenerate backward-wave four-wave
mixing in a photorefractive crystal. The delay and width of the output pulse for the amplified …

A slowing down of light pulses using backward-wave four-wave mixing is achieved in
photorefractive crystals with different coupling strength. The delay and width of the output …

We demonstrate that two-wave mixing of partially coherent light beams inside a medium with
an inertial nonlinear response allows one to increase the coherence substantially. An …

Slowdown of Gaussian “dark pulses” in photorefractive crystal using a two-wave mixing
method is shown at room temperature. In agreement with our theoretical model, the …

We present detailed calculations of the temporal and spatial evolution of beam fanning in
photorefractive crystals that is initiated by scattering from noise. We show that fanning starts …

We present a novel configuration of an interferometer which is implemented by using
vectorial wave mixing in the orthogonal geometry of wave interaction in a cubic …

The cross coupling of two mutually incoherent sources in photorefractive materials is
described. It is shown that when there are two mutually incoherent pump beams that are not …

Photorefractive two-wave mixing exhibits energy transfer without phase cross talk. Such a
phenomenon can be used to clean up wave-front aberrations of laser beams. We report the …
