Abstract
A nonlinear interaction of moving space-charge and photoconductivity gratings is experimentally investigated. In the presence of a dc electric field, a crystal is irradiated with an oscillating interference pattern with a spatial frequency K and an oscillation frequency ω. An ac electric field with a frequency \gM is also applied to the sample. At certain frequencies ω and \gM, the crystal exhibits two types of interacting oscillations: the space-charge grating moving with velocity |ω−Ω|/K and the photoconductivity grating moving with velocity −ω/K. The effect is studied using the method of the nonstationary photoelectromotive force in a photorefractive Bi12SiO20 crystal.
