Abstract

We study the influence of a transient dark current on the buildup dynamics of photorefractive index gratings, which are excited right after the onset of a pulsed voltage, by using low glass-transition temperature photorefractive polymers under a heat-assisted condition. We conclude that the development of photorefractive index gratings is majorly controlled by changes in the transient dark current, through the suppression of a saturated photo-induced space-charge electric field. We also show that this influence can be estimated reasonably well by a simple analysis of the measured transient current traces.

Results of the FWM experiments: (a) typical evolutions of diffraction beam power (only for the first 4 voltage pulses shown), (b) dependences of the maximum diffraction power on the number of a voltage pulse, (c) dependences of the response speed of Δn on the number of a voltage pulse. Thin solid lines in Figs. 3(b) and 3(c) are only a guide to the eye. Inset of Fig. 3(b) shows the evolution of the diffraction power for the first four voltage pulses. Thick solid lines (black) are the fitted curves. Inset of Fig. 3(c) shows the change of the weight factor on the voltage pulse obtained from the equation fitting.

Temporal changes of dark currents from (a) normal cell samples and (b) SiO2-coated cell samples. Dots are measured data and thick solid lines are the fitted curves. The yellow-shaded region corresponds to the two-beam irradiation period. A large noise level in the measured data was caused by a high voltage used in the measurement.
