Abstract

The nonlinear problem of speckle-beam propagation in the photo-refractive crystals has been solved. The solutions corresponding to the beam trajectory self-bending have been obtained both in approximation of infinite beam diameter and for the case of finite one. The local tilting rate of the beam propagation direction proved to be proportional to the square of beam angular divergence. The influence of space-charge limit field on the trajectory curvature radius has been investigated as well.
