Excitation of higher harmonic gratings in AC-field biased photorefractive crystals
We analyze the nonlinear excitation of holographic gratings in a photorefractive crystal being subject to an alternating electric field and a stationary light interference pattern. The influence of the higher harmonics on the fundamental grating is illustrated for the case where a crystal of Bi12SiO20 is the recording medium.
We analyze both the steady state and the transient consequences of the higher harmonic excitation.
