It is demonstrated that the microscopic mechanism of the photorefractive (PR) effect in
organic composites with low glass transition temperatures involves the formation of …

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 …

A new class of photorefractive polymeric materials is described on the basis of inert polymer
binders doped with a single small molecule species which has the dual function of providing …

A systematic study of the effect of plasticization on the photorefractive performance of a poly
(N-vinylcarbazole)(PVK) based polymer composite is presented. It is shown that N …

Two-beam-coupling gain coefficients exceeding the absorption coefficient are demonstrated
for the first time to our knowledge in an organic photorefractive system. The material is …

We report on a photorefractive polymer with a 4-ms-response time in transient four-wave
mixing experiments at 0.5 W/cm2 writing irradiance, 95 V/μm applied electric field, and a …

Photorefractive polymers with high diffraction efficiency in the visible and near-infrared
regions of the electromagnetic spectrum have been developed. These polymers, which have …

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 …

We report on a high optical quality, long‐life guest‐host photorefractive polymer composite
which exhibits a 60% device steady‐state diffraction efficiency and 120 cm− 1 two‐beam …

The performance of recently developed highly efficient photorefractive polymers based on
the photoconducting polymer host poly-(N-vinylcarbazole) is investigated, and the use of …
