Abstract

We present a theory of the frequency-detuning properties of various oscillators formed by four-wave mixing in photorefractive crystals. It is shown that the detuning originates from the self-induced grating dynamics in the mixing crystal, governed by phase conditions of the optical paths and several other parameters, such as external and internal electric fields in the mixing crystal.
