Abstract
Diffusion effects are shown to give rise to strong electric fields when insulators with trapped carriers are exposed to holographic interference patterns. A simple physical model is used to calculate the field generated by sinusoidal light intensity distributions of typical wave-lengths. This phenomenon can be utilized for recording phase holograms in electro-optic crystals and as means of enhancing the efficiency and permanence of absorption holograms in photochromic materials.
