Beam-coupling topography is a new, nondestructive holo-graphic technique for spatially resolved imaging of antiparallel ferroelectric domains. Its basic principle is the interference of Bragg-diffracted beams from a holographic grating with collinear, transmitted ones. Full domain contrast and noise suppression is achieved by appropriate control of intensity and phase of the interfering beams. Using Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6:Ce as an example, it is demonstrated that the method permits spatially resolved measurement of hysteresis loops and monitoring of photoassisted domain switching processes.
