Journal ArticleDOI
Theory and applications of four-wave mixing in photorefractive media
TL;DR: In this article, the development of a theory of four-wave mixing in photo-refractive crystals is described and the theory is solved in the undepleted pumps approximation with linear absorption and without using the undebleted pump approximation for negligible absorption, and the results are used to analyze several photorefractive phase conjugate mirrors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Steady-state spatial screening solitons in photorefractive materials with external applied field.
TL;DR: Steady-state planar spatial solitons are predicted for photorefractive materials when the diffraction of an optical beam is exactly compensated by nonlinear self-defocusing as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum well lasers--Gain, spectra, dynamics
Yasuhiko Arakawa,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss a number of theoretical and experimental issues in quantum well lasers with emphasis on the basic behavior of the gain, the field spectrum, and the modulation dynamics and reveal that the use of quantum well structures results in improvement of these properties and brings several new concepts to optical semiconductor devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amplified reflection, phase conjugation, and oscillation in degenerate four-wave mixing
Amnon Yariv,David M. Pepper +1 more
TL;DR: A number of new optical effects that result from degenerate four-wave mixing in transparent optical media are proposed and analyzed and are relevant to time-reversed (phase-conjugated) propagation as well as to a new mode of parametric oscillation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of self-trapping of an optical beam due to the photorefractive effect.
Galen Duree,J. L. Shultz,Gregory J. Salamo,Mordechai Segev,Amnon Yariv,Bruno Crosignani,Paolo Di Porto,Edward J. Sharp,Ratnakar R. Neurgaonkar +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new type of spatial soliton has been predicted to be observable in a photorefractive crystal, where the interference between the beam's spatial-frequency components can be considered to write photore-fractive gratings on the crystal.
