One main reason for this failure seems to be that the preparation of components, with optimal and reliable relevant characteristics, comes up against a fundamental, more and more crucial problem: the lack of a systematic physical and physico-chemical characterization in parallel with optical studies and material processing.","PeriodicalId":385625,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Photorefractive Materials, Effects, and Devices II","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121856518","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}

On this condition the electrical fields of the recorded grid gets the value like that of electric field of acoustic wave in piezocrystal. As the value of the field is so high one must take into consideration the selfdifraction of the waves while examing the recording process [4].

To better understand this unexpected result, we have undertaken both pulsed and dc photoconductivity studies at various temperatures on the same n-BSO crystal, called \"CT1\" (Crystal Technology, Inc., 1984), as well as on other n-BSO crystals. The photocurrent excited by a nanosecond or picosecond optical pulse is known to decay non-exponentially in time, with characteristic times in the nanosecond and microsecond regimes.2 In CT1 we see further long decay tails (~ seconds) at room temperature. However, in another n-BSO crystal called \"SU1\" (Sumitomo Corp., 1986), this long tail is essentially absent.","PeriodicalId":385625,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Photorefractive Materials, Effects, and Devices II","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130156019","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}
