Abstract
A photorefractive effect in terbium gallium garnet with refractive ind ex changes up to Delta n = 5 x 10(-8) for elementary volume phase holo grams is reported. The light-induced refractive index changes can dire ctly be attributed via Kramers-Kronig relations to the observed photoc hromic and light-induced, linear dichroitic behavior. This can also ex plain the possibility of writing holograms with orthogonally polarized beams.
