It is shown that multiwave mixing of the beam itself in high-gain photorefractive crystals is also a possible cause of beam fanning. Through the multiwave coupling of the beam itself the power can asymmetrically transfer from low to high spatial frequencies. This leads to a broad-angled profile of light. Thus amplified noise and amplified spatial frequencies of the beam both play an important role in producing the fanning effect.
