In this chapter, the standard model accounting for the photorefractive nonlinearity in a
material is presented. The mathematical formalism of the rate equations has been …

The response of photorefractive materials to sinusoidal intensity patterns of high modulation
depths is considered. It is shown that the induced refractive-index response in this regime is …

Conclusions The last few years have witnessed a great renewal of interest in the
photorefractive effect thanks to the realization of the possibility of propagating stable 2D …

Photorefractive materials have been assuming ever increasing prominence in the non-linear
optics field due to their unique capability for displaying strong non-linear effects at milliwatt …

In the twenty years since the discovery of the photorefractive effect [4.1], it has proven to be
both a nuisance and an asset to the optics community. Originally, it was labelled" optical …

The band transport model describes charge statics and dynamics within photorefractive
materials. Here a steady-state solution is found for the setting in which an arbitrary optical …

Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic properties: light affects
their electrical conductivity; their optical properties (refractive index, etc.) are affected by …

A two‐dimensional treatment suitable both for perpendicular (Pockels readout optical
modulators, etc.) and for parallel (image amplifiers, etc.) photorefractive devices is …

This is the first of two volumes that review, for the first time, all major aspects of
photorefractive effects and their applications. Photorefractive effects in electro-optic crystals …
