Multistability in reflection grating real-time holography

Published Sep 1, 1986• 13 citations
Publisher

Abstract

In this paper, four-wave mixing in photorefractive media for the case of a reflection geometry is investigated. The exact solutions of appropriate nonlinear equations for a zero phase shift between the refractive index grating and interference pattern of the optical beams have been found. The existence of multistability in the process has been shown. In addition, numerical evidence of the effect is included.

Exact Solution to the Degenerate Four–Wave Mixing in Transmission Geometry in Photorefractive Media

Ying Wu, Guo-Qin Ge, Zhanping Xu

The exact solution of the degenerate four–wave mixing in transmission geometry in photore-fractive media for a zero phase shift between the refractive index grating and interference pattern of the optical beams is presented. Our solution gives both the intensities and the phases of various beams.

Solution of nonlinear equations for four-wave interactions in photorefractive media

A. A. Zozulya, Vladimir T Tikhonchuk

A system of nonlinear equations is solved to describe a four-wave interaction in photorefractive media generating transmission or reflection refractive index gratings in the case of a drift-diffusive nonlinearity mechanism with an arbitrary complex coupling constant. An analysis is made of the four-wave interaction in the geometry of a nonlinear ring resonator where a reflection grating is formed.

Anisotropic four-wave mixing in cubic photorefractive crystals

Aleksander Błȩdowski, Wieslaw Z. Krolikowski

The anisotropic four-wave mixing in the scheme recently proposed by S.I. Stepanov and M.P. Petrov (Opt. Commun. vol.53, p.64-8, 1985) is studied. The main feature of this interaction arrangement is that the same phase hologram (index grating) has opposite contrasts for orthogonally polarized, counterpropagating waves. The coupled nonlinear equations, in the case of transmission and reflection gratings, for the pi /2 photorefractive phase shift are exactly solved, and their properties are discussed in detail. The numerical evidence of the effects of bistability and self-oscillation is included.>

Multigrating phase conjugation: exact results

Wieslaw Z. Krolikowski, Milivoj R. Belić

Multigrating operation of degenerate four-wave mixing in photorefractive media is considered in the strong pump regime. Closed-form expressions for the reflectivity are obtained for the cases of absorption and no absorption. An arbitrary phase mismatch between the intensity interference fringes and the refractive-index gratings is allowed.

Exact solution to the degenerate four-wave mixing in reflection geometry in photorefractive media

Milivoj R. Belić

A method for exact solution of the stationary holographic degenerate four-wave mixing in reflection geometry in photorefractive media is presented. The effects of pump depletion and light absorption in the nonlinear dynamic medium are rigorously taken into account. Numerical steps in the procedure are reduced to the solution of one simple nonlinear first-order differential equation, or are absent altogether when the equation is linearized, or for the case of no absorption. The method of solution is applicable to other wave-mixing geometries as well.

Phase relationships in the case of a four-wave interaction in a photorefractive medium in which a reflection grating is recorded

O N Volkova, A. A. Zozulya

Derivation is given of relationships for determination of the complex amplitudes of waves interacting in a four-wave mixing process in a photorefractive crystal in which a reflection grating is recorded throughout the whole interaction zone. An analysis is made of the amplitude and phase of a nonlinear reflection coefficient. The role of the real and imaginary parts of the coupling constant in the appearance of multivalued solutions is identified.
