Contribution from the inverse flexoelectic effect to the photorefractive response in a bismuth titanium oxide
Results from studying the contribution from inverse flexoelectric and photoelastic effects to the photorefractive response upon counter-wave interactions corresponding to the reflective holograms of (100)-cut sillenite single crystals are reported. A stationary reference wave with circular polarization and a phase-modulated signal wave were used in obtaining the holograms.
