Abstract
The diffraction efficiency of the transmission holograms in the photorefrac tive (111)-cut crystals of the classes (4) over bar 3m and 23 depends on th e orientation of the lattice vector. This effect is determined by combined manifestation of the piezoelectric and photoelastic properties of the cryst al. The shape of this dependence is determined both theoretically and exper imentally for the fixed linear polarizations of the readout light waves in a 2.1-mm-thick (111)-cut Bi12SiO20 crystal (class 23).
