We present a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of a grating envelope, in both transmission and reflection geometry, during the erasure process in various readout configurations in bulk photorefractive media. We derive a single partial differential equation that describes grating evolution. This equation shows that under certain conditions the grating envelope propagates and shares several features with either bright or dark solitons. Details of the grating envelopes directly relate to the dynamics of the observed diffraction efficiency. We derive analytical expressions for diffraction during nondestructive readout. Finally, we discuss the effects of nonzero absorption, finite dark conductivity, fringe bending, fanning, and nonlinear responses on the propagating envelope.
