Popis: The incoherent interaction of (1+1)-dimensional Gaussian beams in cubic photorefractive optically active crystals is theoretically considered. The effect of optical activity on the interaction process is discussed. The obtained results are compared with those for the case of the coherent interaction. It is shown that during of the interaction between orthogonally polarized Gaussian beams one of them is deflected under the action of the other. This phenomenon is promising for the realization of optical address positioning of light beams.
