Abstract

An approximate theory for degenerate four-wave mixing via reflection grating in photorefractive media is proposed.An analytic solution of the problem is derived.The theory is valid when the intensities of the two forward beams are much smaller than that of the backward beam.

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.

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

Ying Wu, Guo-Qin Ge, Zhanping Xu

Effect of partial coherence on four-wave mixing in photorefractive materials

Jianhua Zhao, Xianmin Yi, Xiaonong Shen +2 more

The effect of partial coherence on four-wave mixing in photorefractive media is studied by taking into account the evolution and propagation of the mutual coherence via a theoretical model. This model is applied to four-wave mixing and two-wave mixing with fully or partially coherent waves. We studied the effect of partial coherence with the presence of all the gratings, and compared the results with those of the transmission grating approximation and of the reflection grating approximation, respectively.

Degenerate four-wave mixing in photorefractive media in the presence of biasing incoherent illumination

N Birla, K.N. Tripathi, Avinashi Kapoor +1 more

The effect of biasing illumination on the degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) in absorbing photorefractive (PR) media has been investigated. The input beams are considered to be spatially uniform. The analysis has been made both for transmission and reflection geometry. Considering pump beam depletion and the slowly varying amplitude approximation, nonlinear coupled wave equations are obtained and have been solved numerically by a shooting method. The effect of different parameters such as input beam intensities ratio, thickness of the interacting medium on the phase conjugate reflectively (PCR) has been investigated. It has been observed that PCR can be controlled to a large extent by controlling the biasing intensity.

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.
