Theory of four-wave mixing in photorefractive media when the response of a medium is nonlinear in respect of the modulation parameter

Abstract

A theoretical model is constructed for four-wave mixing in a photorefractive crystal where a transmission grating is formed by the drift–diffusion nonlinearity mechanism in the absence of an external electrostatic field and the response of the medium is nonlinear in respect of the modulation parameter. A comparison is made with a model in which the response of the medium is linear in respect of the modulation parameter. Theoretical models of four-wave and two-wave mixing are also compared with experiments.

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.

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.

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.

Spatial structure of holographic gratings in photorefractive crystals with a nonlocal response

S. A. Bugaichuk, A. G. Kutana, A I Khizhnyak

The structure and spatial positions of dynamic gratings responsible of steady-state four-wave mixing are determined for nonlinear media with a nonlocal response. It is shown that an analytic solution found for a double phase-conjugate mirror is fundamental and that it can be used to obtain solutions for such a mirror when two pump beams are present.

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.

Optical control of the four-wave mixing dynamic grating structure in photorefractive media

S. Bugaychuk, A I Khizhnyak

Recording of localized transmission gratings by four-wave mixing in non-local photorefractive media with strong response is considered. The input conditions to record dynamic gratings with a stable grating amplitude distribution as well as grating amplitude oscillations are defined. They are determined both by intensities and by a phase difference of input waves. The influence of fluctuations of wave phases on stability of the recorded gratings is considered. Methods of optical control of both the grating amplitude localization degree and the grating amplitude location are defined.
