Investigation of a device for recording images in a lead magnoniobate crystal

An investigation was made of an electro-optic device for optical recording of images in a lead magnoniobate crystal. The characteristics of this device with photoconducting CdS and ZnS films were determined (these films were selected so as to obtain the desired voltage distribution in a multilayer system). The device ensured a high image contrast and a strong modulation under low voltages and for low recorded light intensities.
