Abstract
Numerous interaction geometries have been developed for photorefractive materials that rely on amplification of light via the two-beam coupling effect. One of the most elegant and simple configurations is a unidirectional ring resonator, which consists of a photorefractive crystal placed in a ring cavity and pumped by an external beam [1]. If the two-beam coupling gain is above threshold, the resonating beam will build up from the amplification of scattered light.
