Description

The performance of a photo-refractive amplifier has been shown to greatly improve when a diffraction free beam is employed as the pump source. It has been established experimentally that this behaviour owes primarily to the ability of this beam to propagate in the photo-refractive crystal will less fanning. A qualitative explanation for the reduction of fanning with Bessel beam is offered. (author)
