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

Abstract

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.
