Abstract
We report the first direct measurement of the grating phase shift evolution during white light illumination for the development of a fixed grating in an Fe-doped lithium niobate crystal. Stabilized holographic recording is shown to be essential to enable the present measurements. Experimental data are in good agreement with theory and allow computing relevant material parameters for the sample under analysis. The results here reported are of the upmost relevance for understanding the advantageous behavior of oxidized samples in hologram fixing.
