Abstract :
A theory describing the propagation of orthogonally polarized spatial bright beams in a photorefractive crystal (SBN:60) is developed. The interaction between the two beams is further investigated numerically. We show that such a coupling can give rise to interesting effects like beam steering and beam compression.
