Abstract
Methods involving two-beam interferometers which include one photorefr active crystal as a component are reviewed. Such an element can perfor m as a transient hologram, as a time-average hologram, as a phase conj ugate mirror (for compensation of aberrations or self-reference interf erometric systems), as a beam amplifier, or as an adaptive element. Sp ecial attention to two-beam interferometers and linear propagation med ia are given.
