Figure 2 The formation of an index grating due to an intensity grating in a photorefractive crystal: intensity grating (a), electron density (b), space charge (c), space charge field (d) and first Fourier component of the index grating (e). Positive voltage: blue solid lines, negative voltage: red dashed lines. (The color version of this figure is included in the online version of the journal.)
