We present investigations of the etalon effect in sillenite photorefractive crystals with a pulsed frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser and show its influence on two- and four-wave mixing. In four-wave mixing the etalon effect allows changes of the diffraction efficiency by more than 80%. Results are supported by theoretical considerations.
