That experiment was conducted in a regime where the laser pulse duration is an order of magnitude larger than the time required for the electrons to diffuse one grating period in the conduction band. Under these conditions, the two-beam coupling geometry was successfully modelled using a numerical solution (with no free parameters) to the equations describing the freecarrier dynamics and nonlinear material response of GaAs:EL2 during the optical interaction. Similar agreement between the theory and experimental data was obtained for the doped semiconductors CdTe:V and InP:Fe.","PeriodicalId":385625,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Photorefractive Materials, Effects, and Devices II","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122124910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most optical novelty filters reported to date use BaTiO3 crystal as the needed nonlinear medium. In a previous report [2], we have shown that, owing to the shorter response time of GaAs, the output resolution of a GaAs based optical novelty filter is potentially much higher than that of a BaTiO3 based optical novelty filter. However, a relatively high-speed spatial phase modulator is needed for such an implementation. As a result, the usual nematic liquid crystal (NLC) modulators used in other implementations of optical novelty filter would respond too slow for the current implementation. Nevertheless, recently, the speed of NLC modulator has been greatly improved by various methods. For example, using the transient nematic effect, a frame time of less than 50 μs have been demonstrated [3]. Such a frame time is more than adequate for the current implementation. In this paper, we report the result of an investigation on the potential of building a high-resolution optical novelty filter using photorefractive GaAs and high-speed nematic liquid crystal phase modulator.","PeriodicalId":385625,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Photorefractive Materials, Effects, and Devices II","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122378833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
