We shall concentrate on the last mechanism. It’s often supposed that the PVE in ferroelectrics can be characterized by the current along the polar \u0000c→-axis, j=α G I, where α is the absorption coefficient, G: the Glass coefficient, I: the light intensity. In this case, the PVE effect is analogous to the effect of supplementary electric field E\u0000 ph\u0000 =j(σ\u0000 d\u0000 +σ\u0000 ph\u0000 )−\u0000 1\u0000 , where σ\u0000 d\u0000 , σ\u0000 ph\u0000 are dark- and photoconductivity.

Uniform illumination of the crystal with green light, in presence of an external D.C. electric field, erases the deep-level electronic charge pattern and reveals the positive charge grating which then decays with its own characteristic decay time. We believe, in agreement with the work of Strohkendl(3), that the hole charge pattern involves shallow traps. Since these traps can be thermally activated, the decay time constant can be further increased significantly by lowering the crystal temperature.","PeriodicalId":385625,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Photorefractive Materials, Effects, and Devices II","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126048311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
