In this paper we review four photorefractive devices which have been investigated and
further developed in our laboratories. We discuss the fundamental behavior of a …

Photorefractive materials have been used in a wide variety of applications, as will be
discussed later. These materials have several features which make them particularly …

Optical methods offer fascinating possibilities for many applications, especially when using
coherent light; however, material properties often introduce undesired limitations. In …

The facility to control light with light is becoming a key function for advanced photonics
architectures. The photorefractive effect is an optical nonlinearity that allows two or more …

Because of their large optical nonlinearity at low light intensity (and also because they are
fun to play with), photorefractive materials have stimulated a large research effort in the …

There is a growing demand for nonlinear optical materials for a variety of applications—
lasers and coherent sources, electrooptic devices, communication technologies, and optical …

The papers collected in this Feature are representative of the theoretical and experimental
results presented at the Second Topical Meeting on Photorefractive Materials, Effects, and …

In June 2009 about 140 researchers from all over the world will meet for three days in Bad
Honnef, Germany, to discuss newest results at the 12th topical meeting “Photorefractive …
