We report on photoinduced, intensity dependent absorption in 'blue' rh
odium doped BaTiO3. The change in absorption, observed under illuminat
ion by visible or infrared radiation, has successfully been modelled.
Agreement obtained between theory and experiment indicates that the sh
allow trap model can effectively characterise the intensity dependent
behaviour at red and infrared wavelength, and can be used to calculate
essential photorefractive parameters in this important wavelength ran
ge for diode-laser applications.
