20. One can prove this expression under the same approximation that applies to photorefractive two-wave mixing [P. Yeh, Introduction to Photorefractive Nonlinear Optics (Wiley, New York, 1993)].
21. This requires that the applied field be sufficiently large; e.g., in SBN:60 for θ = 0.1°, E ≅ 1 kV/cm.
