The investigation of the light-induced changes of refractive index in a LiNbO(3): Fe sample in case of strip-like illumination is presented in the contribution. The changes of the refractive index are visualized by interferograms of the sample obtained for various orientation of the illuminated strip and various polarization of the light used during interferogram creation. The investigation shows that character of the dependences of the refractive index on the coordinate perpendicular to the illuminated strip is different for different strip orientation. It indicates the possibility that for different orientation of gradient of the illumination the different mechanisms are responsible for changes of the refractive index.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
