Abstract

The saturation of the fundamental harmonic of the space-charge field is investigated experimentally in dependence of the contrast m and the amplitude of an external ac and dc field in a BTO crystal with a large electron-drift length. The behaviour of the first harmonic is explained qualitatively with the aid of perturbative analysis.
