Linear detection of phase-modulated optical signals with ac-biased cubic photorefractive crystals: Influence of coupling effects

We apply the theory of vectorial wave coupling in cubic photorefractive crystals subjected to ac-field to describe the transformation of a momentary phase changes of one of the input beams into the output intensity modulation (the so-called grating translation technique). In contrast to the previous studies, we take into account the change of the space-charge field amplitude across the crystal owing to the coupling effects. The theory developed is employed to optimize the conditions for the linear signal detection under polarization filtering for the transverse and longitudinal optical configurations. We also analyze the possibility of the linear detection without polarization filtering. PACS 42.70.Nq; 42.62.Cf; 42.87.Bg     

Diffraction efficiency and energy transfer in two-wave mixing experiments with Bi12SiO20 crystals

The diffraction efficiency and energy transfer are investigated in photorefractive Bi₁₂SiO₂₀ crystals (BSO). Dependence on fringe spacing, electric fields, light intensity and rise-time constants are reported. The optimum crystallographic orientation for each effect is determined for vertical polarization of the recording beams. It is shown that beam coupling is a very sensitive phenomenon in BSO crystals where charge transport lengths are equivalent to usual fringe spacings. Experimental results are interpreted on the basis of the nonlinear theory of self-diffraction developed by Kukhtarev et al. [10].

Effect of proton exchange and annealing on diffraction efficiency of Fe:LiNbO3 crystals

Influence of proton exchange and annealing on the photorefractive properties of Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals has been investigated using two-wave coupling phenomena. The two-wave coupling phenomena results in microscopic interference pattern inside the sample which subsequently helps in the formation of refractive index grating. The diffraction efficiency of the crystal increases after proton exchange, whereas the reverse is observed on annealed samples. The former is attributed to an increase of extraordinary refractive index of the crystal, while the latter to the oxidization of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺.

Effect of photoconductivity and oscillation frequency shift on the signal beam intensity in two beam coupling in photorefractive materials

A general theory of the two-beam coupling between a pump beam and a signal beam in photorefractive materials is presented. The coupled wave equations describing the non-linear two beam coupling are derived, based on Maxwell's wave equation. The coupled equation for the intensities of the two beams in the photorefractive crystals with the absorbing properties have been derived analytically. The intensity of the signal beam increases with the increasing crystal thickness, reaches a maximum and then decreases. The influence of energy beam coupling coefficient, oscillation frequency shift, crystal thickness, absorption coefficient and the input beam intensity ratio on the signal beam intensity have been studied in details. The effect of the photoconductivity of the materials on the intensities of the two beams in both the co-directional as well as contra-directional two beam coupling cases have been studied.     

Critical enhancement of nonlinear response in fast photorefractive crystals

It is shown that when approaching the spatial subharmonics generation threshold in fast photorefractive crystals (the sillenites, CdTe), a practically unlimited (singular) amplification of the nonlinear photorefractive response is possible, which results in a drastic increase in the spatial amplification of weak signals. A theory of critical spatial amplification is developed. This theory takes into account real attributes of fast photorefractive crystals such as the vectorial nature of wave coupling and nonuniform broadening of resonances owing to light absorption. The theory is applied to the analysis of the observable characteristics of critical enhancement and to optimization of the conditions of experiments aimed at the detection and investigation of this phenomenon.

The coupling and superposition behavior of higher-order diffraction image based on photorefractive nematic liquid crystal materials

We report some photorefractive higher-order diffraction phenomena of two kinds of photorefractive nematic liquid crystal materials. In the experiment, we observed the superposition of higher-order diffraction images, the coupling of higher-order diffraction lights, and the coupling between higher-order diffraction lights and incident beams. The observed behavior suggests the complexity of the coupling process. The properties of higher-order diffraction images are discussed theoretically, which are in good agreement with experimental results.     

Effect of rhodium doping on the photorefractive properties of BCT crystals at 850 nm

We present an experimental investigation of the photorefractive properties of rhodium-doped barium calcium titanate (BCT) crystals of the congruent melting composition Ba_0.77Ca_0.23TiO₃. Considering the results previously obtained on this crystal in the visible region, it should be a good alternative to BaTiO₃. Nevertheless, many applications use infrared light. Therefore we present here a study of rhodium-doped BCT crystals at 850 nm. This wavelength is of special interest as it is in the spectral range of laser diodes. Rhodium doping is expected to enhance the sensitivity of the crystal in the infrared as is the case for BaTiO₃.We first noticed that BCT:Rh crystals are sensitive at this wavelength as expected. Furthermore, the photorefractive properties are interesting in terms of photorefractive gain, with a gain as high as 3 cm^-1 with ordinary polarization. This study has also put forward the fact that rhodium is not the only defect that participates in the photorefractive effect. Indeed, a large quantity of iron seems to be present in the BCT crystals and to participate in the photorefractive effect.An Erratum to this article can be found at     

加偏压中心对称双光子光折变晶体中多变量空间灰孤子

 为了得到有偏压的中心对称双光子光折变晶体中存在多变量空间灰孤子的结果,基于中心对称双光子光折变晶体中空间灰孤子的基本理论,采用数值方法推导出了中心对称双光子多变量空间灰孤子归一化包络解的积分形式,并对其特性进行研究。结果表明：这种多变量空间灰孤子是由多束偏振方向和波长都相同的互不相干光束耦合形成的。当多变量空间灰孤子只包含有1个或2个光束分量成分时,它自动退化到中心对称双光子空间灰孤子或中心对称双光子非相干耦合灰 灰空间孤子对的情况。当这一多变量空间灰孤子在有偏压的中心对称双光子光折变晶体中传播时,各分量成分光束都能稳定传播。

Effects of the induced birefringence in photorefractive crystals on speckle optical vortices

In this work, we show that it is possible to change the properties of an optical vortex formed in a speckle pattern by the control of an external electric field applied to a sillenite-type photorefractive material in a non-holographic configuration. To show it, a scheme that allows the recovering of both, the polarization state and the phase distribution of an optical field was implemented. Changes in the polarization state of the light in the neighborhood of the vortex were observed with the application of an external electric field. Likewise, changes in the phase structure around the vortex and displacements of the vortices themselves were measured. These displacements have a fairly linear dependence on the applied field to the photorefractive crystal. Experimental results are qualitatively explained with the theoretical treatment of non-holographic recording in photorefractive crystals.     

Higher-order diffraction images in photorefractive materials

We report some photorefractive higher-order diffraction phenomena of a liquid crystal polymer composite. The photorefractive composite consists of the polymer poly[N-vinylcarbazole] (PVK) doped with the chromophore 4,4′-n-entylcyanobiphenyl (5CB) and the sensitizer C₆₀. In two-wave coupling experiments, the signal beam was interfered by a mutually coherent reference beam within composite materials at a small incident angle. Results are given when the composite was placed behind the focal plane, in front of the focal plane, and in the focal plane. Higher-order diffraction images were obtained by amplification and reduction. A theory of the properties of higher-order diffraction images in a photorefractive liquid crystal polymer composite is developed. The theory is in good agreement with the results of experimental work. The experiments demonstrate the feasibility of optical image processing.
