Sm. Shandarov et al., PHOTOREFRACTIVE RESPONSE IN SILLENITE CRYSTALS WITH SHALLOW TRAPS BY APPLYING AN ALTERNATING ELECTRIC-FIELD, Ferroelectrics, 202(1-4), 1997, pp. 257-266
We consider the photorefractive response in a sillenite crystal with s
hallow traps when a square-wave applied field is used. The numerical r
esults give the dependences of two-beam gain coefficient on the gratin
g fringe spacing, mean light intensity, applied field amplitude, and a
pplied field frequency. The cadmium-doped Bi12SiO20:Cd crystal was gro
wn and fabricated. We study the two-beam gain coefficient in this crys
tal. The experimental results agree qualitative with the presented the
ory.
