Abstract

The far-field diffraction pattern of a photorefractive crystal under an external applied electric field in a Z-scan configuration is derived based on the analysis of the propagation of a Gaussian beam wavefront with spatial phase distortion. The effective electro-optic coefficient of a SBN:Ce crystal is determined from the Z-scan experiments. Enhanced sensitivity is predicted if the light irradiance is measured at the ofd axis positions in the far field.
