CONT

The photorefractive effect, i.e. the changes in the indices of refraction ... induced by illumination with visible or u.v. light, has been the subject of several investigations. It is known that specific transition metal doping can increase the photorefractive sensitivity by a factor of 10 [to the third power], the best candidates being Fe, Cu, and Mn.

DEF

Variation de l'indice de réfraction induite par illumination dans certains matériaux électrooptiques.

CONT

Les effets photoréfractifs réels sont rangés en deux classes, selon qu'ils sont intrinsèques ou assistés. Dans le cas intrinsèque, le cristal est isolé et aucune énergie extérieure autre que l'énergie lumineuse absorbée n'est consommée pour produire la variation d'indice.
