摘要: The generation of multiple waves during near-oblique incidence a 532 nm weakly focused beam on photorefractive iron-doped lithium niobate in typical reflection geometry configuration is studied. It shown that these are produced through two-wave coupling (self-diffraction) and four-wave mixing (parametric diffraction). One waves, the stimulated backscatter from parametric diffraction, contains self-phase conjugate. dynamics six-wave its dependence crystal parameters, angle incidence, pump power analyzed. What we believe to be novel order analysis interaction equations provides further insight into experimental observations steady state. quality evaluated image restoration, interference experiments, visibility measurement. Reduction may significantly improve
