To manifest a photorefractive effect, the polymer must possess a photocharge generator, a
charge transporter, a charge trapping center, and a nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore …

We report the synthesis and characterization of a new, low-Tg polymer exhibiting the
photorefractive effect. The photorefractive polymer contains a second-order nonlinear optical …

Photorefractive (PR) materials are multifunctional materials which combine
photoconductivity and an electro-optic (EO) response to manifest a photorefractive effect. 1 …

We present experimental data that show that the greatly improved performance of a new
class of photorefractive polymers [see Donckers et al., Opt. Lett. 18, 1044 (1993)] is too large …

▪ Abstract Rapid advances in the field of photorefractive polymers and composites have in
the brief time since their inception in 1991 led to the development of high-performance …

Photorefractive polymers exhibit large refractive index changes when exposed to low power
laser beams. When the optical excitation consists of two interfering coherent beams, the …

The photorefractive (PR) effect is defined as spatial modulation of the index of refraction due
to charge redistribution in an optically nonlinear material. The effect arises when …

In this article, we review recent progress in the area of photorefractive polymers.
Photorefractive (PR) polymers are multifunctional materials which combine …

Organic photorefractive (PR) materials are a new kind of electrooptic substance that
emerged 10 years ago. These are very complicated materials that possess both electrooptic …
