This chapter is an overview of the photorefractive effect, the important photorefractive
nonlinear processes and common photorefractive materials. In Section 2, the formation of …

A problem of nonlinear wave propagation through a photorefractive crystal (PRC) with drift
nonlinearity has been evaluated. A class of spatially localized solitonlike solutions with finite …

activity | IEEE Conference Publication | IEEE Xplore Intensity and polarization dynamics of spatial …

The present book has been an effort which has been fructified as a result of a sincere wish
for advancement of research in nonlinear optical materials including photorefractive media …

Second-harmonic generation in a photorefractive crystal is investigated. It is shown that a
fundamental wave that is not in the photorefractive regime can be locked onto a second …

The photorefractive effect, an indirect nonlinear optical effect mediated by the material
photoconductivity, offers the unique opportunity to obtain high sensitivity light-light …

We have reviewed recent developments of some aspects of optical spatial solitons in
photorefractive media. Underlying principles governing the dynamics of photorefractive …

Abstract We analyse the (2+ 1) D soliton formation in photorefractive crystals with strong
optical activity. The complete characterization of a soliton in such a crystal requires a careful …

Propagation of incoherently soliton pairs in photorefractive crystals under steadystate
conditions is studied. These soliton states can be generated when the two mutually …

We have constructed a spatiotemporal nonlinear system model based on induced reflection
gratings to study the energy exchange that results in pattern formation inside a …
