Considerable progress has been made in organic photorefractive materials, since the first
observation of photorefractive phenomena from organic materials. Within recent years, a …

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

The paper reviews material, spectroscopic, laser and nonlinear optical properties of wide-
band Cr2+-doped II–VI materials. The strong revival of research interest in these materials is …

Over the past few decades, there has been extensive research work carried out in the area
of nonlinear optics and opened a myriad of applications in material science and …

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 …

Large values of the exponential gain coefficient Γ are obtained (Γ≂ 8–12 cm− 1) when
recording with a moving grating in photorefractive BSO crystals (nearly degenerate two …

This book presents the fundamental physics of optical interferometry as applied to
biophysical, biological and medical research. Interference is at the core of many types of …

The first study of the photorefractive properties of doped CdTe has demonstrated high
sensitivity for optical processing applications. Of the binary II‐VI and III‐V semiconductors …

We consider holographic optical data storage systems implemented with photorefractive
media. Our viewpoint emphasizes the close interaction between materials and device …

The photorefractive properties of semi-insulating AlGaAs–GaAs multiple quantum wells are
described for the transverse Franz–Keldysh geometry with the electric field in the plane of …
