Abstract

Holographic gratings are written in photorefractive Sr_0.61Ba_0.39Nb₂O₆ crystals by two interfering light beams. Angular-dependent readout of the holograms shows that applying an external electric field to the crystal produces a pronounced tilting of the holograms. The results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions considering self-diffraction of the recording beams.
