Abstract
Absorption and scattering, or fanning, have a pronounced effect on the observed dynamics of the photorefractive effect. In this article these effects are included in the coupled wave equations for both recording and erasure, and a comparison is made with experimental observations. It is shown that a single recording and erasure time constant is necessary to fit the experimental measurements, whereas separate time constants would be required if absorption and scattering were neglected.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
