The photorefractive properties of lithium niobate crystals depend strongly on the kind of doping admixture. Study of LiNbO 3 crystals with various doping admixtures using photorefractive light scattering allows insight into the processes taking place in the crystals. This paper presents new experimental results of non-selective and selective photorefractive light scattering investigations into rhodium-doped lithium niobate crystals and proposes a model to explain the experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
