Abstract

A photorefractive effect in gyrotropic cubic crystals is considered. The effect accompanies the Bragg diffraction of light by an ultrasound in the presence of an alternating electric field. The possibility of recording holographic gratings with the help of the light waves diffracted by traveling ultrasonic waves is demonstrated. The amplitude of the index phase grating is studied as a function of the intensity of the recording ultrasound, the length of the region of acoustooptical interaction, and the specific rotation of the crystal.
