P. Xie et al., OBSERVATION OF TRANSVERSE SPATIAL MODULATION IN PROBE-PUMP CONFIGURATIONS IN BATIO3-CE, Optics communications, 126(4-6), 1996, pp. 255-259
Transverse spatial modulation of a low-intensity probe beam induced by
a counterpropagating intense pump beam in a 45 degrees-cut BaTiO3:Ce
crystal with an external electric field is experimentally studied. The
results show that the input Gaussian probe beam is deeply modulated w
hen the angles between the external field and the c-axis of the crysta
l are 45 degrees and 135 degrees. The experimental results are in good
agreement with our numerical results.
