Propagation of Cos-Gaussian Beam in Photorefractive Crystal
A physical model for guiding the wave in
photorefractive media is studied. Propagation of cos-Gaussian beam
as the special cases of sinusoidal-Gaussian beams in photorefractive
crystal is simulated numerically by the Crank-Nicolson method in
one dimension. Results show that the beam profile deforms as the
energy transfers from the center to the tails under propagation. This
simulation approach is of significant interest for application in optical
telecommunication. The results are presented graphically and
discussed.
