Abstract
Two-beam intensity coupling is calculated for photorefractive crystals with two types of movable charge carrier in the undepleted-pump approximation. The analytical expressions are derived for the temporal evolution of the space-charge field; for weak coupling they are used for calculation of the transmitted beam intensities. The results of the calculation are compared with the experimental observations in photorefractive tin hypothiodiphosphate All experimental data are in reasonable quantitative agreement with the calculations.
