Holographic gratings are written in photorefractive Sr 0.61 Ba 0.39 Nb 2 O 6 crystals by two interfering light beams. Angular-dependent readout of the holograms shows that applying an external electric f ield to the crystal produces a pronounced tilting of the holograms. The results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions considering self-diffraction of the recording beams.
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.
