We predict the formation of electrically and optically controlled photorefractive surfacewaves in liquid crystal, with orientational photorefractive effects. In contrast to the case forphotorefractive surface waves in inorganic crystals, the penetration depth of photorefractivesurface waves in liquid crystal can be controlled by means of the applied external electricfield, while the position of the photorefractive surface waves in the liquid crystal can becontrolled by means of the applied external electric field and the polarization of incidentlight beams.
