摘要: By jointly solving two-centre material equations with a nonzero external electric field and coupled-wave equations, we have numerically studied the dependence of the non-volatile holographic recording in LiNbO$_{3}$:Ce:Cu crystals on the external electric field. The dominative photovoltaic effect of the non-volatile holographic recording in doubly doped LiNbO$_{3}$ crystals is directly verified. And an external electric field that is applied in the positive direction along the $c$-axis (or a large one in the negative direction of the $c$-axis) in the recording phase and another one that is applied in the negative direction of the $c$-axis in the fixing phase are both proved to benefit strong photorefractive performances. Experimental verifications are given with a small electric field applied externally.
