Interaction of two optical waves in a nonlinear medium resulting in Bragg diffraction
Abstract
The interaction of two optical waves in a Kerr medium is considered. One of the waves is initially unmodulated and the other wave is amplitude modulated. Due to the Kerr effect, the amplitude modulated wave produces a refractive index grating and the first wave gets diffracted because of this grating. It is shown that there are two Bragg angles for a single modulating frequency at which the incident wave can be diffracted. The Bragg angle for …
