Abstract: | Protons are identified as the mobile ions, which neutralize the electronic space charge fields during thermal fixing of holograms in LiNbO3:Fe. The protons form OH? centers and can be observed via vibrational absorption bands. In crystals with reduced OH? content holograms cannot be fixed thermally. In crystals containing fixed patterns the OH? concentration shows a spatial variation corresponding to the electric charge distribution. |
