Theory of the photorefractive effect for multiple-quantum-well structures in perpendicular field ref lection grating geometry

Vladimir V. Shkunov, Mark V. Zolotarev

The theory of photorefractive grating formation in a semi-insulating GaAs/AlGaAs multiple-quantum-well structure (MQWS) with an electric field applied across the layers and for counterpropagating writing beams is presented. The gain and the response time demonstrate a resonant behavior with respect to variations in both the applied field and the light’s wavelength. For a semi-insulating MQWS such an interaction geometry could provide the highest two-wave mixing gain, as much as 104 cm−1, which exceeds the linear absorption.

Parametric oscillation in photorefractive media

Henrik C. Pedersen, Per Michael Johansen

We present an analysis of what is called parametric oscillation in photorefractive media. It is shown theoretically that when a running grating and a constant electric field are applied to a photorefractive medium it is possible for two secondary gratings to grow spontaneously. These theoretical predictions are subsequently verified experimentally in the crystal Bi12SiO20, and excellent qualitative agreement is obtained. In previous subharmonic experiments, only grating vectors K/2, K/3, and K /4 were observed. Now, however, a whole continuum of grating vectors has been observed. Thus subharmonic generation in photorefractive materials is simply a special case of parametric oscillation in which the two secondary gratings are identical.
