Abstract

Abstract Photorefractive BaTiO3 crystal illuminated at 442 nm gives a large initial scattering level, which leads to strong pump depletion into beam fanning. Studies on the time development of beam fanning show a temporal shift of the fanned beam maximum towards the c-axis direction. The effect on the signal beam amplification of the strong pump depletion into beam fanning has been investigated, revealing different temporal development of the amplified signal for various cross-angles. Our observations on beam fanning in the presence and in the absence of a signal reveal that there is appreciable coupling between the fanned beam and the signal.
