Popis: Light intensity effects on recording photorefractive gratings have been studied in α‐phase proton exchanged LiNbO3 guides. The saturating refractive index change increases as a function of the recording intensity and reaches an unstable region above a certain intensity threshold. The threshold value increases with the exchange time used for preparing the guides, showing a behavior quite similar to that observed with a single beam (non holographic) configuration. Dark decay measurements indicate that dark conductivity can be disregarded with regard to photoconductivity.
