Abstract
We describe an improved mathematical model for photorefractive materials exhibiting hole-electron competition where the constants accounting for electrical coupling between holes and electrons are independently adjusted for each one of them. Experimental results from photorefractive titanosillenite crystals with hole-electron competition, and particularly from a vanadium doped sample, are shown to be better described by this modified model than by the classical one already reported in the literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the optical intensity variation induced by an applied electric field (E App ), which is transmitted through an undoped photorefractive Bi 12 TiO 20 (BTO) crystal in an oblique incidence setup, was modeled taking into account the transmission coefficients for the polarization plane parallel and perpendicular to the incidence plane, as well as the birefringence induced by the E App, which changes the components of the polarization vector of the light beam.
