Light-induced removal of 180° ferroelectric domains in Rh:BaTiO<sub>3</sub>

We show that optically-induced photorefractive space-charge fields can remove 180° ferroelectric domains in rhodium-doped barium titanate. The cross section of the domains must be small (less than 100 microns) for this process to occur.
