Light Diffraction from Anisotropic Volume Phase Gratings

  • Chapter
Photorefractive Crystals in Coherent Optical Systems

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 59))

Abstract

The main characteristic feature of a photorefractive phase grating is an anisotropy. It arises from an anisotropy of the linear electrooptic effect through which the space-charge field Esc is converted to phase relief. So the phase grating in PRC is a spatially periodic distribution of the optical anisotropy of the crystal, and its amplitude is described by a tensor.
