Experiments with different Cr concentrations C-Cr reveal constant Sr and Ba concentrations as well as a decreasing Nb concentration with an increasing C-Cr. Therefore, Cr is incorporated at Nb lattice sites. The distribution coefficient of Cr is 1.2 between 100 and about 7000 ppm Cr and 1 above. From measurements of the holographic two-beam coupling gain Gamma for different C-cr, we deduced response times for the buildup of holographic gratings. The saturation value of Gamma depends in a nonlinear manner on C-Cr and reaches its maximum at about 6000 ppm Cr. The inverse photorefractive response time of the grating erasure depends linearly on the erasure intensity for all doping concentrations. Thus a one-center model can be assumed for the charge transport in SBN:Cr. |
