Optical and electrical Barkhausen noise induced by recording ferroelectric domain holograms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ferroelectric domain gratings with periods of the order of an optical wavelength are induced in strontium barium niobate by photorefractive space-charge fields. We measure the Barkhausen noise in current and diffraction efficiency while optically recording domain gratings and show that the two are strongly correlated in time. Significant random depolarization occurs under high-intensity illumination. We deduce the kinetics of the domain inversion process from the shape of the current transients.

Electrical fixing of photorefractive holograms in Sro . 7 5 Bao . 25 Nb 2 O 6
Volume holograms recorded in photorefractive materials can find important applications in optical memories and optical computing systems. One problem with a photorefractive hologram is that it gets erased by the readout light. Nondestructive readout can be achieved by hologram fixing, and several fixing methods have been reported. Thermal fixing of holograms was demonstrated in LiNbO3,' Bi1 2Si...
متن کامل2 6 Se p 20 01 Barkhausen Noise in a Relaxor Ferroelectric
Barkhausen noise, including both periodic and aperiodic components, is found in and near the relaxor regime of a familiar relaxor ferroelectric, PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3, driven by a periodic electric field. The temperature dependences of both the amplitude and spectral form show that the size of the coherent dipole moment changes shrink as the relaxor regime is entered, contrary to expectations based on...

In this paper a method for digitally recording four quarter-reference-wave-holograms (by CCD) in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer setup, and reconstructing the object wave-front by numerical method is presented. The terms of direct transmission, auto-correlation and conjugate wave in the four wave reconstruction are cancelled out and only one original object wave is left after overlapping. Reconst...
متن کاملShape of a Barkhausen Pulse
The average shape of the pulse in Barkhausen noise has been recently proposed as a tool to compare models and experiments. We compute theoretically the pulse shape of Barkhausen noise in a model describing the motion of a domain wall in an effective Brownian potential. In this framework, the pulse shape is related to the properties of the excursion of a random process in a c log(x)− kx potentia...
متن کاملShrinkage correction of volume phase holograms for optical interconnects
The film shrinkage effect of photopolymeric phase media failed to provide the desired volume holograms for point-to-point optical interconnects. In this paper, we report a new compensation method to physically correct the shrinkage effect resulted from the holographic recording and the post baking. Dupont photopolymer HRF-600X001 is studied. The correction of the Bragg diffraction angle shift o...
