SEVERAL classes of organic materials (such as photoanisotropic liquid-crystalline
polymers1–4 and photorefractive polymers5–7) are being investigated for the development …

PHOTOREFRACTIVE materials are of considerable interest for the development of all-
optical devices1. The photoref ractive effect appears in materials that exhibit an electric-field …

Abstract Holographic three-dimensional (3D) displays, provide realistic images without the
need for special eyewear, making them valuable tools for applications that require …

A new family of proline-based azobenzene peptides (DNO) for holographic information
storage is reported. By use of polarization holography, it was found that gratings with …

A tutorial review is presented to inform and inspire the reader to develop and integrate
strong scientific links between liquid crystals and holographic data storage, from a materials …

POLYMERS that exhibit the photorefractive effect—a light-induced modulation of refractive
index—are emerging as attractive materials for optical devices and processing systems1, 2 …

The term 'photonics' describes a technology whereby data transmission and processing
occurs largely or entirely by means of photons. Photonic crystals are microstructured …

We report novel biphotonic holographic storage of text and gratings on unoriented films of a
side‐chain liquid crystalline polyester capable of high density storage and complete …

Among the various applications for reversible holographic storage media,, a particularly
interesting one is time-gated holographic imaging (TGHI),,. This technique could provide a …

Figure 2. Diffraction efficiency due to phase (refractive index) and absorption for 1 in its
nematic phase (with photoinitiator) at 130 C. Crossed-beam irradiation was begun at l= 0 s …
