Abstract :
The usefulness of rigorous coupled wave theory in the analysis of induced transmission and reflection grating formation, wave mixing, and higher order generation is demonstrated. No approximations air made, exact photorefractive material equations are used, and optical and electrical anisotropies are included. Several new effects, such as time oscillation, higher order generation, etc., are predicted
