Abstract

We investigate the propagation of light in photorefractive media by direct numerical simulation. The two dimensional model is based on solution of nonlinear material equations in steady-state and the equations governing propagation of the optical fields. We present results on fanning effect of a single beam and two-wave amplification in an applied alternating field.
