Hanbury-Brown and Twiss type double-slit interference with photorefractive fanning light

This paper reports that when an intense extraordinary-polarized laser beam illuminates a photorefractive BaTiO₃ crystal, the dynamic beam fanning light is formed to be a thermal-like light source with a long correlation time and wide spectral bandwidth. The experimental results of the first- and second-order double-slit interference with such photorefractive fanning light source, can be understood with the theoretical simulation in terms of Hanbury-Brown and Twiss effect.     

Anisotropic scattering generated by photorefractive four-wave mixing in BaTiO3 crystal

A new type of anisotropic scattering with ring-and-line structure is observed for the first time from a BaTiO₃ crystal illuminated by a linearly polarized laser beam. The analysis presented herein is based on the photorefractive four-wave interaction of the incident, reflected, and scattered beams. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical analysis.     

Photorefractive surface waves in a thin Bi12TiO20 crystal

A theoretical model considering total internal reflections of fanned beams from the side crystal surfaces and their coupling with the pump beam is proposed. The interaction of these beams results in the light intensity redistribution and in the generation of the photorefractive surface wave. An experimental observation of the light intensity self-concentration near the surface of a thin photorefractive Bi₁₂TiO₂₀ crystal is reported. It results in an acceleration of the photorefractive energy exchange process.     

Light-induced scattering in SBN：Cr crystal under external electric fields and its suppression

In this paper, the enhancement of light-induced scattering in congruent SBN:Cr (Sr_{0.61}Ba_{0.39}Nb_2O_6:Cr) crystals in the presence of an externally applied electric field and its suppression are studied. If a coherent image is focalized in SBN:Cr crystal without applying external electric field, the output image will remain clear, because of the weak photorefractive effect in the crystal. When a field is applied properly along the crystal axis, markedly enhanced scattering from the signal beam and the output image dispersion can be observed due to the increase of the photorefractive two-beam coupling gain and the light-induced index change in SBN:Cr crystals. By introducing a coherent or incoherent beam with higher intensity the light-induced scattering can be suppressed through the erasure of scattering gratings. The difference between coherent and incoherent beam is that the former can also amplify the signal beam as the scattered light is removed, whereas the latter can only make the signal beam revert to its initial state. The results obtained under different experimental conditions are consistent with theoretical analysis.

Talbot interferometry with an adaptive light intensity compensator

Talbot interferometry with a larger applicable scope has been investigated based on the intensity amplification method to weak moiré fringes by using photorefractive crystal as a light amplifier. It not only has function of conventional Talbot interferometry, but also is suitable for situations such as weak incident beam and detected object with strong absorption. The investigation indicates that the method or technique is feasible and the results of theoretical analysis are verified by experiments. Based on this investigation, Talbot interferometry with an adaptive light intensity compensator is proposed and some merits and demerits of the technique have briefly been discussed.     

-70 dB optical carrier suppression by two-beam coupling in photorefractive media

Suppression of an optical carrier from an RF modulated laser beam of wavelength 532 nm is performed using two-beam coupling in photorefractive barium titanate. A theoretical analysis reveals that perfect suppression can be achieved at a specific modulation strength, which depends on the gain and intensity ratio between the two beams. The experiments achieve a maximum of -72.9±2.4 dB carrier suppression at the theoretically ideal modulation strength, and -61.0±2.4 dB for small modulation strengths.

Effect of partial coherence on four-wave mixing in photorefractive materials via reflection grating approximation

We investigate the effect of beam coherence on four-wave mixing via reflection gratings in photorefractive media. For the case of phase conjugation, the results of our theoretical analysis indicate that partial coherence always leads to a drop of signal gain and phase conjugate reflectivity in non-depleted cases. In general, the mutual coherence of the signal beam and the pump beam can be enhanced due to the process of wave mixing. The mutual coherence of the phase conjugate beam and one of the pump beams depends on the beam intensity ratio as well as the optical path difference. This is distinctly different from the four-wave mixing case with a transmission grating. Received: 15 October 1999 / Revised version: 26 June 2000 / Published online: 7 February 2001

Modification of Photorefractive Waveguides in Lithium Niobate by Guided Beam for Optical Dynamic Interconnection

We investigate experimentally and numerically a novel method of modifying photorefractive waveguides in a lithium niobate crystal by a guided beam. The guided beam with a strong optical power can change the refractive index of the photorefractive waveguide because of the photorefractive effect. The modification of waveguide structure can be utilized for optical dynamic interconnection. Changes of optical characteristics of a probe beam caused by a modification beam are investigated. Experimental results show that the transmitted power or the peak intensity of the probe beam decreases exponentially as a function of total exposure energy of the modification beam. We also numerically analyze the refractive index change caused by the modification beam in the photorefractive waveguide. The numerical results show good agreement with the experimental results.     

Non-reciprocal transmission through photorefractive crystals in the transient regime using reflection geometry

The transient transmission through a photorefractive crystal in which the incident beam couples with its own Fresnel reflection is studied. The transmission declines due to the formation of a volume reflection grating with a response time inversely proportional to intensity. The rate of decline is rapid at first but becomes progressively slower as the intensity declines at the rear of the crystal. For Gaussian input profiles, the power transmission is dominated by the wings in the transient regime. Experimental results obtained using Fe-doped lithium niobate show good agreement with theoretical predictions until competing noise appears.     

Effect of photoconductivity and dielectric constant of the photorefractive materials on two-beam coupling gain and phase-shifts for a single unidirectional photorefractive ring resonator

Photoconductive dependence of two-beam coupling between the pump beam and the signal beam in photorefractive materials have been analyzed in case of non-degenerate wave mixing under the undepleted pump approximation method. During the two-wave mixing in photorefractive materials, steady state amplification of the signal beam and oscillation characteristics of a single unidirectional ring resonator has been studied. The domination of the two-beam coupling gain over the combined absorption and resonator losses such as Fresnel reflections from the crystal and imperfect mirrors builds up unidirectional oscillation. The buildup of such an oscillation leads to a saturation of the gain, which can be explained in terms of the photorefractive phase-shift. The existence of this phase-shift between the photorefractive index grating and the illumination intensity pattern, which is of characteristic of the photorefractive effect, leads to an energy transfer between the two beams. For a single unidirectional ring resonators, the effects of photoconductivity of the materials, two-beam energy coupling coefficient, dielectric constant, crystal thickness, and material's absorption coefficient on amplification of the two-beam coupling gain and photorefractive phase-shifts of the signal beam have also been studied in detail. It has been found that amplification of the signal beam and phase-shift can be enhanced by taking the photorefractive crystal having higher photoconductivity and lower dielectric constant, which improves performance of the resonators.
