Resumen
En este trabajo explicamos detalladamente cómo construir un oscilador fotorrefractivo (PRO), que es una cavidad óptica bombeada con láser que contiene un cristal fotorrefractivo. El PRO concreto cuya construcción es descrita paso a paso, está basado en una cavidad óptica lineal (tipo Fabry- Perot) funcionando en una configuración de mezcla no degenerada de cuatro ondas. Este PRO particular tiene la propiedad de que el haz generado exhibe emisión laser con invariancia de fase y, como aplicación, mostramos cómo un haz inyectado y modulado adecuadamente convierte el campo de salida con invariancia de fase en uno con biestabilidad de fase. Aunque se ha hecho énfasis en cómo configurar el dispositivo experimental y en cómo realizar las medidas, se incluye una introducción al efecto fotorrefractivo así como a los conceptos necesarios de dinámica no lineal, resultando un trabajo razonablemente auto contenido.
