Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a novel method for recording second-harmonic volume index gratings in photorefractive crystals. The fundamental component of the index grating is eliminated by means of a -phase shifted double-exposure process that uses the Mach–Zehnder interferometric technique. Experimental results for crystals are presented and discussed.
