The objective of this dissertation is to study the dynamics of the photorefractive effect in order
to analyze the process of multiplexed holographic recording in photorefractive crystals. A …

Photorefractive materials have been extensively used in recent years as real-time recording
media for optical holography.[1],[2] One prospective application of real-time holography is in …

In order for holographic storage applications to become more competitive, advances in
recording materials are needed. To this end, two separate approaches for improving …

A detailed understanding of electrically controlled diffraction (ECD) in photorefractive media
is important if new applications based on this effect, such as dynamic wavelength filtering …

We consider holographic optical data storage systems implemented with photorefractive
media. Our viewpoint emphasizes the close interaction between materials and device …

Photorefractive materials, for instance photorefractive crystals and photorefractive ceramics
to which our main interest is dedicated, are of importance for optical storage applications …

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 …
