Abstract
The photorefractive effect is theoretically studied at the interface b etween a thin photoconducting layer and an oxidic electro-optic crysta l. A grating charge distribution in the photoconducting layer creates an electric field that penetrates the electro-optic crystal, giving a refractive-index modulation near the interface. The photo-refractive g ratings of different crystal geometries are discussed. (C) 1998 Optica l Society of America.
