Investigation of photo-induced absorption in a Bi12TiO20 crystal

TL;DR: In this paper, a photorefractive Bi12TiO20 (BTO) crystal is exposed with high intensity pulsed-laser beams 532 nm and the photo-induced dynamics of the absorption between 480 and 900 nm are studied and explained by two long-lived energy levels in the forbidden band.
Journal ArticleDOI

Broadening of the light self-trapping due to thermal defocusing in PQ-PMMA polymeric layers

TL;DR: The channel formation by the self-trapping of a (1 + 1)D beam in polymeric media based on a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) matrix containing phenanthrenequinone molecules is predicted theoretically and observed experimentally for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimum orientation of volume phase gratings in sillenite crystals: is it always [111]?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the simultaneous influence of optical activity, piezoelectric effect, and elasto-optic effect on two-wave mixing under diffusion recording in photorefractive Bi12TiO20 and Bi12SiO20 crystals and find numerically the maximum of the TWM gain as a function of the orientation of the grating vector.
Journal ArticleDOI

Camera influence on the phase-measurement accuracy of a phase-shifting speckle interferometer.

TL;DR: To obtain the minimum phase-measurement error, it is found that the mean speckle intensity ought to be adjusted to be 0.058 times the saturation intensity of the camera and the beam ratio is to be 5.7.
Journal ArticleDOI

Giant momentary readout produced by switching electric fields during two-wave mixing in sillenites.

TL;DR: It is shown theoretically and experimentally that switching an applied square-wave field produces strong and short pulses of the outgoing signal during two-wave mixing in sillenite crystals that can be used in new optical schemes based on time-separated recording and readout processes.
