Theory of the photorefractive effect for Bi12SiO20 and BaTiO3 with shallow traps

P Tayebati, D Mahgerefteh - JOSA B, 1991 - opg.optica.org
We analytically solve charge-transport equations for a photorefractive crystal with shallow
and deep traps. We predict that, if shallow traps can accumulate a high density of charge …

Light‐induced dark decays of photorefractive gratings and their observation in Bi12SiO20

FP Strohkendl - Journal of applied physics, 1989 - pubs.aip.org
We find that the temporal shape and speed of dark decays of photorefractive gratings
depend on the light intensity used to write the grating. We attribute this to the fact that the …

Contribution of holes to the photorefractive effect in n‐type Bi12SiO20

FP Strohkendl, RW Hellwarth - Journal of applied physics, 1987 - pubs.aip.org
This is the first characterization of both positive and negative charge carriers as well as deep
traps in any crystal sufficient to predict photorefractive behavior for all beam geometries on …

Effect of shallow traps on electron–hole competition in semi-insulating photorefractive materials

P Tayebati - JOSA B, 1992 - opg.optica.org
A model of the photorefractive effect is presented that includes a shallow-trap level (hole or
electron trap) as well as a species of deep traps with electron and hole excitation. It is shown …

Optical measurement of the photorefractive parameters of Bi12SiO20

RA Mullen, RW Hellwarth - Journal of applied physics, 1985 - pubs.aip.org
We employ an optical technique requiring no electrodes to measure three parameters
characterizing photorefractive traps in nominally undoped n-type bismuth silicate at 515-and …

Measuring photorefractive trap density without the electro-optic effect

RM Pierce, RS Cudney, GD Bacher, J Feinberg - Optics letters, 1990 - opg.optica.org
Two optical beams can couple in a photorefractive crystal without using the electro-optic
effect. Beam coupling is due to a spatially modulated absorption caused by the …

Introduction, revelation, and evolution of complementary gratings in photorefractive bismuth silicon oxide

MC Bashaw, TP Ma, RC Barker, S Mroczkowski… - Physical Review B, 1990 - APS
Principal and complementary space-charge gratings are formed in photorefractive bismuth
silicon oxide with use of 785-nm light. An electric field is optionally applied in the direction of …

Efficiency and polarization characteristics of photorefractive diffraction in a Bi12SiO20 crystal

S Mallick, D Rouede, AG Apostolidis - JOSA B, 1987 - opg.optica.org
We study the polarization properties of volume phase gratings induced in photorefractive
materials that are both optically active and linearly birefringent, such as Bi_12SiO_20 …

Explanation of the apparent sublinear photoconductivity of photorefractive barium titanate

D Mahgerefteh, J Feinberg - Physical review letters, 1990 - APS
We explain the apparent sublinear intensity dependence of photoconductivity in barium
titanate. In our model shallow acceptors act as a reservoir for charges optically excited from …
