Abstract
A new process of polarization-anisotropic photo-induced light scattering is observed in thin crystals of Fe-doped LiNbO3. The characteristic features, such as its dependence on the crystal thickness, on the pump beam wavelength and on the read-out configuration as well as the kinetics for its appearance, are investigated and analyzed in detail. We present an Ewald sphere and discuss possible mechanisms to explain the appearance of the new scattering phenomenon.
