Abstract. Optically induced defects in photorefractive crystals are studied. The possibility of application of polarization-interference method is considered. The experimental conditions for studying photoinduced defects in lithium niobate crystals by analyzing the polarization interference are formulated. A technique is proposed that allows for determination of the photoinduced birefringence value of a crystal in the region of the induced defect by the level of light intensity transmitted through the system. Schematic diagram of an experimental setup for studying the kinetics of the photoinduced defects formation in uniaxial crystals is presented.
Keywords: interference of polarized light waves, uniaxial crystals, photorefractive effect, birefringence, optically induced defects, lithium niobate crystal
