Influence of Inverse Piezoelectric Effect, Photoelasticity, and Optical Activity on the Diffraction Efficiency of Transmissing Holograms in Photorefractive Crystal Bi12SiO20

摘要

The results of a theoretical study of the dependence of the diffraction efficiency of a transmission hologram formed in a sample of a Bi12SiO20 photorefractive crystal on the orientation angle, specific rotation of the crystal, and its thickness are presented. The theoretical model takes into account linear electrooptical, inverse piezoelectric and photoelastic effects. It is shown that with a change in the sign of the specific rotation of the crystal, there can be a shift of the maximums of diffraction efficiency relative to the orientation angle.
