Abstract
To realize the advantages of all-optical (holographic) measurements of the charge-transport parameters of photorefractive materials, one must take into account the fact that the (complex) optical polarizability α1 of an occupied deep trap (for an electron or a hole) may be different than the α2 of an unoccupied trap.1 By measuring the coupling between overlapping beams, we have measured the real and imaginary parts of α = α1 – α2 in three samples of widely used photorefractive materials, nominally undoped cubic n-type Bi12SiO20 (BSO).
