We present a consistent experimental and theoretical study of non-Bragg orders observed in
dynamic self-diffraction on thick phase holograms in a photorefractive polymer that showed …

This dissertation is concerned with two distinct applications of volume gratings recorded in
photorefractive electro-optic crystals. The first of two applications involves the use of these …

This program has been extremely successful with over 50 publications and presentations
(see the enclosed publication list). During this period, we had two publications in Nature, two …

We review the physics of highly efficient low glass transition temperature photorefractive
polymers. Different design approaches to photorefractivity in organic polymers are …

The mobility of dye molecules in a polymer matrix was investigated by use of
electroabsorption and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. The electroabsorption …

Summary form only given. Photorefractive polymers have improved considerably in recent
