Impact of tensorial nature of the electro-optic effect on vortex beam propagation in photorefractive media.
Influence of the anisotropic tensorial electro-optic effect of LiNbO(3):Fe photorefractive defocusing medium on propagation of a vortex beam is numerically and experimentally investigated. Characteristic behaviors are depicted by varying light polarization, sign of vortex angular momentum and propagation directions.
