The photorefractive grating formation dynamics were modeled numerically for bismuth
silicon oxide under conditions of stationary recording with a dc applied electric field. These …

Evidence is presented to support the theory that photoexcited charge carriers screen the
field due to the trapped charges that form the phase grating in photorefractive materials. The …

The photocurrent dark decay in photorefractive materials is theoretically analyzed by using
two different dynamical approaches-namely, the shallow traps and electron-hole transport …

The response of photorefractive materials is considered when there is no optical input but
previous optical excitation is taken into account by a set of initial conditions. The temporal …

The photorefractive band transport model is extended to include magnetic effects. The
Newtonian equation of motion for electrons in the conduction band under combined electric …

The evolution of the space-charge field under illumination with weak very short pulses is
discussed. Under a weak irradiation limit the space-charge field after recombination of the …

A photorefractive phase shift can be generated under dc applied fields if the dominant
photocarriers have a nonlinear velocity-field dependence with a vanishing differential …

This chapter provides a detailed review of theoretical work on the photorefractive effect. The
physical model of photorefractivity used here, which now seems well established by many …

The photorefractive effect consists of three roughly separate physical processes:
photoexcitation of charge carriers; electronic transport and trapping; and an electrooptic …
