Av. Dooghin et al., RECORDING OF A STATIONARY PHOTOREFRACTIVE GRATING IN AN EXTERNAL AC FIELD BY RAPIDLY MODULATED BEAMS, Journal of the Optical Society of America. B, Optical physics, 10(6), 1993, pp. 1060-1068
A mechanism for recording a static hologram in a photorefractive cryst
al in an externally applied ac field is investigated. One beam is rapi
dly modulated, and the interference pattern is moving. The frequency o
f modulation coincides with the frequency of the externally applied ac
field and strongly exceeds the inverse buildup time. Both phase and a
mplitude modulations are investigated theoretically and experimentally
. The experiment was performed in a Bi12TiO20 crystal.
