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

Photorefractive Materials presents an overview of the basic features and properties of
photorefractive materials, covering a wide array of related topics. It provides a coherent …

We consider in detail the piezoelectric properties and the optical activity of (110)-cut cubic
photorefractive crystals with respect to the optimization of two-beam coupling. An expression …

We study the polarization properties of volume phase gratings induced in photorefractive
materials that are both optically active and linearly birefringent, such as Bi_12SiO_20 …

Beam coupling effects in an optically active photorefractive crystal of Bi 12 SiO 20 are very
much influenced by the polarization direction of the interacting beams. Analytic expressions …

Large optically homogeneous photorefractive Bi12TiO20 (BTO) single crystals doped with
Al, P, Ag, Cu, Co and Al+ P-co-doping were obtained by the Top Seeded Solution Growth …

The polarization dependence of two-wave mixing for two common crystal orientations is
described and theoretical and experimental results given. The direction of energy exchange …

The energy exchange during two-wave mixing can be increased in photorefractive sillenite
crystals considering thick samples (ie, large interaction lengths). Nevertheless, in thick …

On the basis of the standard model for the photorefractive nonlinearity we investigate
whether a systematic description of the dependence of two-beam energy exchange on …

Doppler-enhanced self-diffraction in two-beam coupling experiments with sillenite crystals
exhibits pronounced optical polarization effects due to the concomitant presence of natural …
