Abstract

Slowly varying envelope wave equations for cross-polarization two-wave mixing in cubic photorefractive crystals are solved exactly by a novel analytical method. The method allows both the transmission (codirectional) and the reflection (contradirectional) geometry of the process to be treated equally and yields simple explicit expressions.
