Abstract :
Light-induced absorption under illumination of continuous-wave ultraviolet laser in Mn-doped near-stoichiometric LiNbO/sub 3/ crystals was investigated for tailoring two-color nonvolatile holography. Dependences of probe wavelength, pumping intensity, crystal composition, and temperature on the light-induced absorption were presented.
