Observation of ferroelectric 180° domains by microphotometry of holographic gratings

Abstract

A new holographic observation technique for 180° domains is demonstrated with a cerium-doped strontium barium niobate sample containing two antiparallel ferroelectric domains. The method relies on the fact that the phase shift of holographically written refractive-index gratings is +π/2 or − π/2 with respect to the initial light interference pattern depending on the orientation of the domains. As a consequence, readout of these gratings creates at the exit face of the sample new interference patterns shifted by 0 or π with respect to the initial one. These patterns, providing an image of the domain structure, are observed by microscope.
