Abstract

We present two-wave mixing results obtained with CdTe:V photorefractive crystals under an external dc or low-frequency square-shaped periodic electric field. The majority photorefractive carriers are holes at 1.32 and 1.54 μm, whereas electrons dominate slightly at 1.048 μm. At this wavelength an intensity-dependent resonant gain enhancement is observed in the presence of a dc field. The effective trap densities are near 1015 cm−3. The highest gains (to as high as 11 cm−1 for a field amplitude of 15 kV/cm at 1.32 μm) are obtained with a square-shaped periodic field at an optimum frequency F0. The dependence of F0 on the different experimental parameters is presented. A two-level model in which the secondary level has a thermal emission rate much larger than the principal one qualitatively describes this nonstandard frequency behavior.
