Crystallographic cut that maximizes of the birefringence in photorefractive crystals
Keywords:
Photorefractive crystals, Birefringence, electro-optical effect.
Abstract
The electro-optical birefringence effect depends on the crystal type, cut crystal, applied electric field and the incidence direction of light on the principal crystal faces. It is presented a study of maximizing the birefringence in photorefractive crystals of cubic crystallographic symmetry, in terms of these three parameters. General analytical expressions for the birefringence were obtained, from which birefringence can be established for any type of cut. A new crystallographic cut was encountered; the birefringence value is greater than PROM, PRIZ and HUIGNARD commercial cuts.
