Abstrakt: The field-dependence of the charge photogeneration efficiency reduces the holographic contrast in an organic photorefractive composite. In this article, the Braun model for field-dependent photogeneration efficiency is incorporated into the standard model of photorefractivity. Using this formalism, the effect on the space-charge field, and thereby holographic index contrast, is calculated directly without the need for empirically found parameters. The dependence of the space-charge field on experimental geometry is also analyzed. A powerful description of the effective space-charge field is thus derived and is experimentally verified. This analysis is then used to compare the observed holographic contrast to that predicted from transmission ellipsometry measurements. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
