Stimuli‐responsive polymer membranes have gained particular attention for the ability to
tune opportunely their physicochemical properties under the application of an external …

From its inception holography has proven an extremely productive and attractive area of
research. While specific technical applications give rise to 'hot topics', and three-dimensional …

The development of materials with high diffraction efficiency, fast response time, holographic
gratings with optical preservation stability, and long-term optical transparency are key for the …

The excited-state dynamics of the push–pull azobenzene Methyl Orange (MO) were
investigated in several solvents and water/glycerol mixtures using a combination of ultrafast …

This chapter aims to establish a link between material compositions, analytical methods and
advanced applications for volume holography. It provides basics on volume holography …

We explore the limits of the photosensitive response of thin, 15 to 35 nm, films of complex
azobenzene dyes. They show high refractive index, reaching 1.8, and significant photo …

The photorefractive properties of triphenylamine polymer-based composites with various
composition ratios were investigated via optical diffraction, response time, asymmetric …

Enhanced, photoactive response can be realised by integrating liquid crystals with
photoalignment or photoconductive alignment layers. Such cells, asymmetric by design …

The similarity between object and image of negative asymmetrical holographic lenses (HLs)
stored in a low-toxicity photopolymer has been evaluated theoretically and experimentally …

A hyper-structured molecule (HSM) CRA-DR1 and a model molecule Ph-DR1 for
photorefractive (PR) application under non-electric field were designed and synthesized via …
