Abstract
Although the excited state of Fe2+ is well known in InP:Fe (figure 1), its influence on photorefractive effect has never been taken into account. We report here a study of this influence and show that the presence of this state induces in the photorefractive effect a new hole-electron competition. This theory well explains the photorefractive coupling gain results obtained on a crystal without any classical hole-electron competition(αn«αp).
