Symmetries of two-wave mixing equations in photorefractive crystals are considered using group theoretical methods. Symmetry groups for both the equations and conserved quantities are determined, and the corresponding generators are written down explicitly. result obtained for the plane-paralel polarized two-wave mixing are used to introduce the method for solution and the form of solutions for the cross polarized two-wave mixing
