Formation of quasi-regular structures in lithium niobate Fabry-Perot interferometers

Abstract

This paper presents the results of experimental studies of formation of quasi-regular optical structures in photorefractive Fabry-Perot interferometers based on Y-and Z-cut lithium niobate samples. It is shown that the topology of these structures depends on the parameters of the interferometer, and the characteristics of the inducing light fields.
