Abstract

Ionic and impurity concentrations in a photorefractive holographic storage medium are optimized such that electronic and ionic Debye numbers match an expected grating wave number K, at fixing and recording temperatures, respectively. Simultaneous and sequential recording and fixing are evaluated. The photovoltaic effect is reduced, subject to response time and absorption constraints, by matching reduced and oxidized impurity concentrations.
