Rigorous coupled-wave reflection grating analysis and Kukhtarev s equations have been solved in the time domain to determine the optical intensity, electron density, and dielectric modulation in BaTiO 3 . A novel Green s-function approach has been developed to analyze Kukhtarev s material equations. The Green s-function approach allowed Kukhtarev s equations to be reduced to a matrix form, from which the electron density could be obtained. A temporal state variable matrix equation was also developed from which full time-dependent solutions of Kukhtarev s equations could be determined. An electron balance equation was developed from which the different terms in Kukhtarev s equation could be studied and compared. Numerical simulations were carried out that showed the growth of a photorefractive BaTiO 3 reflection grating. The simulation showed that an asymmetric, blazelike pattern resulted for the dielectric modulation. The blazelike pattern was shown to arise from spatial differentiation of a cusplike shape that the electron-density function assumed for its solution. 1998 Optical Society of America S0740-3224(98)04607-4
