Abstract

A system of coupled wave equations that can be used to find the components of the vector amplitudes of linearly polarized light waves on amplitude–phase holographic gratings formed in a cubic photorefractive crystal due to four-wave mixing has been presented. The linear electro-optical, photoelastic, and inverse piezoelectric effects, as well as natural optical activity, circular dichroism, and absorption in the crystal, have been taken into account when deriving the coupling equations. The characteristics of energy exchange in a (111) InP:Fe crystal in the presence of four-wave mixing have been analyzed. It has been shown that the best agreement of the theoretically calculated dependences of the intensities of the p and s polarized components of the conjugate light wave on the orientation angle with the known experimental results is achieved under the assumption that several amplitude–phase holographic gratings are formed in the crystal. The dependence of the intensity of the conjugate wave on the orientation angle and the azimuth of the linear polarization of the pump wave has been theoretically studied. It has been shown that this intensity can be significantly increased by choosing the optimal values of these parameters.
