Abstract
A cw mirrorless oscillation is observed in a photorefractive LiNbO3:Cu crystal when the crystal is exposed to two nearly counterpropagating pump waves from an Ar+ laser. This oscillation is shown to result from a parametric vectorial six-beam interaction in a medium with a photovoltaic nonlinearity.
