Abstract

The dependence of the rate of formation and erasure of photoinduced electrical domain structure in ruby on the spectral composition of nonlaser illumination is studied. Near-ultraviolet irradiation is found to cause rapid erasure of the domain structure. The photocurrent density and photoconductivity are determined as functions of the electric field strength of the domains during irradiation with different spectral compositions at 77 K and 300 K assuming a “capacitor” model for the domains. The dark conductivity of ruby is estimated.
