We report an increase of more than a factor of 100 in the diffraction efficiency from
photochromic gratings written in BSO, by uniformly illuminating these gratings with 488 nm …

We present the results of theoretical modelling of the increase in diffraction efficiency in
photorefractive BSO under conditions of photorefractive enhancement via permanent …

We report a novel scheme for spatial light modulation in which the diffraction efficiency of a
permanent photochromic hologram stored in photorefractive BSO is spatially enhanced by …

We present experimental results describing the influence of optical bias on the transient
characteristics of gratings formed in photorefractive BSO. A transient peak is evident, and the …

The diffraction efficiency of holograms formed in BSO crystals by pulsed excitation has been
studied as a function of the recording pulse energy, readout light polarization and crystal's …

We have developed an approximate analytic expression of two wave mixing for absorption
and phase gratings in photorefractive materials taking into account self-diffraction effect of …

We report permanent hologram recording in crystals of photorefractive bismuth silicon oxide
using reversible photochromic effects. At a recording wavelength of 488 nm, exposures of …

Interband photorefractive gratings can be generated by illumination of an electro-optic
crystal in the high absorption spectral region. In contrast to conventional photorefractive …

A general analytical model is developed for analysis of the diffraction properties of layered
structures of photorefractive gratings. With this model a simple closed-form expression is …

A method of enhancing the degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) conjugate reflectivity in
photorefractive BSO is described, which uses an auxiliary beam of different wavelength to …
