Photorefractive and Photochromic Effects in Barium Titanate

Abstract

Nominally undoped p-type Barium titanate was grown that exhibits interesting intensity dependent photorefractive and photochromic properties. When its photochromism is activated the absorption increases at the activating wavelength and there is a concurrent and proportional reduction in photorefractive response time. Three photoactivated and thermally reversible absorption conditions and the difference spectra of the photochromic crystal are shown in Figure 1.
