Abstract
An analysis is made of photorefractive nonlinearity resulting from the interaction between the charge gratings formed in a bismuth silicate crystal in an applied meander electric field under illumination by a strong reference and two signal light beams. It is shown that the nonlinear cross interaction between the primary holographic gratings recorded in the crystal should be taken into account where the intensities of the reference and signal light beams differ from one another in magnitude (less than 300 times).
