“…In BTO crystals we must consider the optical activity of the medium, this effect acts on the beam so as it propagates through the volume of the crystal polarization is rotated by θ a o = ρ ao L where ρ ao is the coefficient of optical activity. If λ is the recording wave length, L is the thickness, m is the modulation of the incident interference pattern and 2α is the angle between the interfering beams, the diffraction efficiency of photorefractive hologram is given by[20,21,22,23,24,18] For holographic recording medium we used the BTO crystal (Bi 12 T iO20 ), of the silenite family, in diffusive regimen with dimensions (9×8×3mm 3 L = 3mm and electro-optical transverse configuration). This crystal has a lower band gap compared to other crystals, such as (B 12 SiO 20 ) or (B 12 GeO 20 ), which makes it suitable for wavelengths in the red region, as is the case of the laser He-Ne (λ = 632, 8nm) used in our work.…”
