Abstract

We propose a flexible method to record and reconstruct vector fields with space-variant polarization distribution in $c$-cut Fe-doped ${\mathrm{LiNbO}}_3$, based on photorefractive two-wave mixing. To our knowledge, this is the first approach for the reconstruction of vector fields without using the photoinduced anisotropy of the recording material.
