We provide an in-depth treatment of the various mechanisms by which an incident light
beam can produce an intensity-or flux-dependent change in the refractive index and …

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

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

This book describes the processes of optical information recording in photorefractive crystals
and applications of these materials in phase-conjugating devices, holographic …

Light-induced charge transport processes are essential for photorefractive effects in
electrooptic crystals. Charge driving forces, charge transport models and experimental …

Nonlinear optics has been a rapidly growing field in recent decades. It is based on the study
of effects and phenomena related to the interaction of intense coherent light radiation with …

Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The
Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this …

We have grown and optically characterized strontium-barium niobate crystals, including both
un doped and cerium-doped crystals having two different Sr/Ba ratios (61/39 and 75/25). By …
