The activation energy of thermal fixing of photorefractive gratings is determined in congruent and nearly stoichiometric lithium niobate crystals, both doped with iron or manganese. The novel technique called holographic scattering method is compared with the standard two-wave mixing method. A measurement of the angular distribution of the self scattered intensity and its possible analytical function is presented. The mathematical problems of the holographic scattering method are discussed applying the angular distribution functions.
