Self-action of Bessel light beams in cubic gyrotropic photorefractive crystals

Abstract

We have studied conversion and interaction of a Bessel laser beam of zero order in photorefractive crystals. We have established that in a cubic gyrotropic crystal, two Bessel light beams propagate with different wave vectors and cone angles, but with identical conicity parameters. As the power in the Bessel light beam increases, we have experimentally observed a new optical effect: self-action of a Bessel light beam. We have studied the effect of external influences and the parameters of the beam itself on the process of self-refraction in photorefractive crystals.
