Abstract In a recent Letter,[1] Yeh presents a derivation of the response time of a
photorefractive material and asserts that this response time is a fundamental limiting value …

I wish to extend my thanks to Glass et al.[1] for calling my attention to some of the earlier
works on photorefractive sensitivity. After reading these earlier papers, I found that, although …

This is the first volume of a set of three within the Springer Series in Optical Sciences, and is
devoted to photorefractive effects, photorefractive materials, and their applications. Since the …

The papers collected in this Feature are representative of the theoretical and experimental
results presented at the Second Topical Meeting on Photorefractive Materials, Effects, and …

After a rapid presentation of generally quoted figures of merit of photorefractive materials, we
show that these figures of merit do not allow us to select abest material'. We illustrate this …

In the twenty years since the discovery of the photorefractive effect [4.1], it has proven to be
both a nuisance and an asset to the optics community. Originally, it was labelled" optical …

Photorefractive materials have been used in a wide variety of applications, as will be
discussed later. These materials have several features which make them particularly …

Among the most widely used properties of photorefractive materials is their ability to couple
energy between two beams overlapping within the medium. This property allows for a weak …

In June 2009 about 140 researchers from all over the world will meet for three days in Bad
Honnef, Germany, to discuss newest results at the 12th topical meeting “Photorefractive …
