We consider a steady-state nonlinear photorefractive surface wave (PR SW) with TE or TM polarisation when the refractive index of the photorefractive crystal (PRC) depends on the strength of the diffusion crystal electric field emerging upon the wave propagation. We have determined the phase trajectory and transverse structure of the PR SW intensity distribution for different values of the diffusion photorefractive nonlinearity. We have investigated a photorefractive diffraction grating, which arises in the surface PRC layer during propagation of the nonlinear PR SW.
