This paper presents a review of photorefractive effects in electro-optic materials and their
applications. Materials properties giving rise to increased photo-sensitivities are discussed …

Two-dimensional spatial light modulators (SLMs) modulate one of the properties of an
optical wavefront (amplitude, phase, polarization) as a function of two spatial dimensions …

This is a new and greatly expanded edition of what has become one of the best known
introductions to the principles, techniques and applications of optical holography. Where …

This is the first volume of a set of three within the Springer Series in Optical Sciences, and is
devoted to photorefractive effects, photorefractive materials, and their applications. Since the …

The development of optical holographic data storage technology in the past 50 years is
reviewed in this paper. With the continuous development of key devices and materials …

Since Valasek's discovery of the ferroelectric properties of Rochelle salt nearly 60 years ago,
ferroelectricity has been regarded as one of the tradi tional branches of dielectric physics. It …

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

In this paper, we discuss fundamental issues underlying holographic data storage: grating
formation, recording and readout of thick and thin holograms, multiplexing techniques …

Optical absorption in pyroelectric crystals is accompanied by electrical effects (in addition to
the well-known pyroelectric effect) which are not present in other materials. Optical excitation …

The development of a theory of four-wave mixing in photo-refractive crystals is described.
This theory is solved in the undepleted pumps approximation with linear absorption and …
