The key advance that led to the digital revolution was the invention of the solid-state diode,
due to its ability to effectively rectify electronic current. Analogous, water-based diodes were …

This review article describes the current state-of-the-art research on organic photorefractive
polymer composites. A historical background on photorefractive materials is first introduced …

The charge generation and transport properties of nematic liquid crystals doped with
electron donors and acceptors are shown to be strongly modified by the addition of low …

Optical processing with photorefractive polymers depends on achieving high optical gain,
which depends exponentially on the product of the interaction length and the gain …

We studied the dark conductivity (j dark), the photoconductivity (j photo), and the charge
carrier photogeneration efficiency η of poly (N-vinylcarbazole)–based photorefractive (PR) …

Among the various applications for reversible holographic storage media,, a particularly
interesting one is time-gated holographic imaging (TGHI),,. This technique could provide a …

The model of space-charge formation in photorefractive polymers due to Schildkraut and
Buettner has been modified to include thermally accessible deep traps as well as shallow …

We demonstrate an improved laser-based receiver for the detection of small ultrasonic
surface displacements. The receiver is based on a homodyne interferometer using a …

A new and simple method for the determination of the trap density in C60-sensitized
photorefractive polymers is presented. We show that the radical anion of C60 acts as the …

Three hyperbranched polymers (P1–P3) containing second-order nonlinear optical
chromophores were synthesized by copolymerization of aromatic dialdehydes (carbazole …
