Abstract
Special features of linear and nonlinear propagation of coherent light beams in two-dimensional photorefractive photonic lattices optically induced in the lithium niobate crystal doped with iron are experimentally investigated. The two-dimensional gratings are formed by consecutive recording of two one-dimensional photorefractive gratings in the crystal. Experiments were performed using He-Ne laser irradiation with a wavelength of 633 nm.
