Pattern formation and competition occur in a nonlinear extended medium if dissipation
allows for attracting sets, independently of initial and boundary conditions. This intrinsic …

Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic properties: light affects
their electrical conductivity; their optical properties (refractive index, etc.) are affected by …

A theory of polarization-dependent four-wave processes is developed for photorefractive
nonlinear media. It includes the classification of possible elementary nonlinear processes …

Nonlinear Optics probes in great depth quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, photorefractive
nonlinear optics, the nonlinear optical properties of nematic liquid crystals, and photonic …

The phenomena in optical pattern formation are reviewed using a single mirror feedback
experiment as an example. The nonlinear medium is sodium metal vapor. We discuss the …

A theoretical analysis is presented of spontaneous pattern formation in a system consisting
of a photorefractive medium and a feedback mirror. A threshold condition for the pattern …

The formation of patterns in two transverse dimensions in photorefractive two-wave mixing
with a single feedback mirror is investigated theoretically. We perform numerical simulations …

Spontaneous formation of optical patterns is demonstrated in a system consisting of a
BaTiO_3 crystal and a feedback mirror. The buildup and the dependence on the feedback …
