For many years, considerable research efforts have been directed toward exploring the
interaction between light and matter for the prospective replacement of electronic devices …

A new series of dyes for nonlinear optical (NLO) and photorefractive (PR) applications
investigated by optical and electrooptical absorption spectroscopy. Optimized PR and NLO …

The photorefractive properties of polymer composites based on poly (N-vinylcarbazole),
doped with the sensitizer C60, the plasticizer butyl benzyl phthalate, and two series of …

Organic molecules possessing a large first hyperpolarizability,, have attracted considerable
interest as possible constituents of polymer-based nonlinear optical devices such as electro …

A general synthetic approach to variously polarised merocyanines and a cyanine with
enhanced thermal and (photo) chemical stability by a locked all‐trans conformation (derived …

High-performance photorefractivity in a thick-grating regime was observed in high-(H-LC)
and low-molar-mass liquid crystal (L-LC) mixtures (HL-LCMs) doped with fullerene. The …

The review concerns the photorefractive effect in polymeric systems, which involves the
creation, upon a primary photochemical reaction, of a phase grating shifted in space relative …

We predict the formation of optical spatial solitons in photorefractive polymers. The
orientational enhancement from the doped chromophores and the dependency of the …

Photorefractive materials can be used to record and erase holograms many times without
the need for chemical processing. This places photorefractive materials at the cutting edge …

We have used ellipsometric measurements on solutions of 2-dihexylamino-7-
dicyanomethylidene-3, 4, 4a, 5, 6-pentahydronaphthalene and related polyenes in liquid 9 …
