Photorefractive surface waves

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A laser beam propagating in a photorefractive crystal generates a refractive-index profile that deflects the beam to one side. This nonlinear deflection can be balanced by total internal reflection at the crystal surface to produce self-induced photorefractive surface waves. Theoretical and experimental evidence for this effect is given.
