We propose a physical model to explain peculiarities of photorefractiv
e recording and dark decay detected in LiNbO3 crystals within temperat
ure ranges below and above 200 degrees C. Distinctive features of our
description are proximity of the activation energies for protons and t
hermally excited electrons and their competitive contributions to the
charge transport. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
