摘要
We present a purely optical method to determine the effective electron-hole mobility ratio in electro-optic, photoconductive materials. Our technique combines observations of the dynamics of the interband photoconductivity with the determination of the anisotropy of the response time of a light induced space-charge electric field. In KNbO3 single crystals we measured a trap-limited mobility ratio mu(h)(c)/mu(e)(c) = 1.25 +/- 0.15 along the crystallographic c axis and mu(h)(b)/mu(e)(b) = 2.0 +/- 0.4 along the b axis.
