Exact solution of degenerate four-wave mixing in photorefractive media

Aleksander Błȩdowski, Wieslaw Z. Krolikowski

A novel method for the exact solution of four-wave mixing in photorefractive media is presented. This method allows us to treat exactly the effects of nonequal angles of incidence, different refractive-index modulation of interacting waves, and external incoherent illumination of the photorefractive crystal.

Paul Michael Petersen, Per Michael Johansen

A simple analytic theory for degenerate four-wave mixing in photorefractive media is presented. The theory is valid when the backward pump-beam intensity is much smaller than the forward pump-beam and probe-beam intensities.
