Influence of light on the coercive field of repoled strontium barium niobate (SBN); the role of secondary repoling

We have found that the application of light to strontium barium niobate (SBN) during electrical repoling stabilises the newly formed domains. This stabilisation becomes apparent when repoling the crystal back into its original domain direction as a change in the distribution of displacement current...
