Sl. Sochava et al., EXPERIMENTAL COMPARISON OF THE AC FIELD AND THE MOVING-GRATING HOLOGRAPHIC-RECORDING TECHNIQUES FOR BI12SIO20 AND BI12TIO20 PHOTOREFRACTIVECRYSTALS, Journal of the Optical Society of America. B, Optical physics, 10(9), 1993, pp. 1600-1604
It is shown that the two-wave amplification in an alternating field in
photorefractive crystals of the sillenite family is strongly affected
by the drift length of photoinduced charge carriers. Consequently in
samples with short drift lengths the two-wave amplification in an ac f
ield is much less effective than that in a dc field.
