Abstract:

Higher-order space-charge field effect on the self-deflection of a Gaussian beam is numerically investigated. The resulted obtained indicates that, for a given photovoltaic-photorefractive crystal and a Gaussian beam which matches with its parameters, the effects of the higher-order space-charge field on self-deflection of Gauss beam is depend on the polarity and strength of the two field, extra electric field and photovoltaic field, and on the incident optical intensity. When the extra electric field and photovoltaic field and incident optical intensity have different combination, and obtained different self-deflection, respectively. At an especially combination, obtained the change of deflection direction of Gauss beam, and that obtained stability transmit of Gauss beam without deflection.
