In this paper, we studied recording and erasure of photorefractive holographic gratings
recorded at 780 nm in an undoped Bi 12 TiO 20 (BTO) crystal sample under the action of an …

The effect of Rh doping in Bi_12TiO_20 (BTO) crystals on the photosensitivity and recording
speed at 1064 nm is reported. Response time of 0.1 s is measured during real-time …

The development of practical devices utilizing the photorefractive effect in BaTiO3 depends
upon the availability of single crystals with improved properties. In order to achieve this goal …

The influence of both photochromic doping and photochromic transitions on the optical
activity (OA) of undoped and doped Cr, Mn and Cu Bi12SiO20 (BSO) crystals is studied. The …

The paper reviews experimental and theoretical studies of the generation of photoinduced
space charges and electric fields in sillenites. A. method is described of direct field …

Absorption spectra, light-induced absorption and dark decay rate of photorefractive gratings
in three nominally pure BaTiO3 crystals are measured. The numerical solution of the charge …

We report on the presence of photovoltaic effect in some Sillenite photorefractive crystals
and compare their behavior with that of the well known photovoltaic LiNbO 3: Fe crystal …

The optical activity changes in Bi12SiO20 (BSO) crystals induced by thermal annealing
treatments are studied. It is found that the annealing in vacuum and hydrogen atmosphere …

The time dependences of light-induced absorption in Bi 12 SiO 20 doped with Mn for
different illumination intensities 0.1–12 mW cm− 2 at temperatures of 300–500 K were …

An experimental method is proposed to distinguish between photovoltaic and
nonphotovoltaic contribution to “optical damage”. The data obtained for LiNbO3 …
