Abstract

In this work we present the experimental results of contradirectional two-beam coupling in a bulk crystal and single crystal fibers of iron-doped lithium niobate. Results of a reduction of the grating writing instability, a comparison of the two-beam coupling efficiency of the fibers and bulk crystal as a function of focusing geometry, as well as a comparison of theoretical and experimental results of the two-beam coupling efficiency are presented.
