Abstract

We have developed model that describe transformation of time modulated optical signals by the double optical and electrical interferometer: beam coupling and holographic current in the semiconductor crystals. We consider non-local response, when dominant mechanism of the space charge formation is diffusion or drift in a high external electric field. Both phase and amplitude modulation is considered (linear ramp phase modulation, sinusoidal modulation, step-like modulation). For the sinusoidal amplitude modulation slow-down of optical signal is described. Experimental results on CdTe crystal with IR CW laser (P=100mW, wavelength 1064 nm) are in agreement with theoretical predictions. Effective group velocity was slow-downed to 555 cm/s for the modulated signal with period of 8ms.
