This is the first of two volumes that review, for the first time, all major aspects of
photorefractive effects and their applications. Photorefractive effects in electro-optic crystals …

Resonance of space-charge field can occur in photorefractive polymers through a moving
fringe and can be described by a forced oscillation equation with damping. The resonance …

A two‐dimensional treatment suitable both for perpendicular (Pockels readout optical
modulators, etc.) and for parallel (image amplifiers, etc.) photorefractive devices is …

The partial differential equations of Kukhtarev et al.(1977) which describe the time
dependence of hologram formation in photorefractive materials are solved analytically in the …

A new cascading technique has been devised to yield solutions for the electric space-
charge field that is induced in a photorefractive medium when a sinusoidal electric field and …

The role of defects in the photorefractive effect is known in principle: their photoionization in
the brighter regions of a photorefractive crystal, illuminated by an inhomogeneous light …

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 …

A two-center photorefractive model permitting all center-to-band transitions and electron-
hole charge transport unifies several models describing subsets of these transitions. Using …

It is shown theoretically that the space charge field generated by two‐wave mixing in a
photorefractive crystal may have a resonant response when a dc field and a sinusoidal ac …
