Wave mixing in an inverted solid state laser material enables to record a population hologram that is both a gain and a refractive index hologram. This work first presents a detailed study of the electronic refractive index change that is due to a polarizability change of the ions when they are brought from the ground state to the excited state. A part of the effect comes from the presence of intense UV bands, an effect that is purely dispersive at the wavelength of the laser transition. We evaluated the non resonant polarisability changes of Nd3+ and Yb3+ ions in the main laser materials and we have studied the nature of the optical transitions at the origin of the observed refractive index variations. We then used these results to predict...
