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 …

Photorefractive Materials presents an overview of the basic features and properties of
photorefractive materials, covering a wide array of related topics. It provides a coherent …

We describe the real-time measurement of the phase shift between the light interference
pattern and a volume holographic grating recorded in dry photopolymers. The time evolution …

We investigate the behavior of non-stabilized and self-stabilized holographic recording
kinetics in reduced and oxidized Fe-doped lithium niobate crystals. We show that self …

We analyze the mechanisms leading to a highly diffractive fixed hologram in photorefractive
Fe-doped lithium niobate crystals by simultaneous self-stabilized holographic recording and …

We analyse the advantages and limitations of self-stabilized holographic recording for fixing
in photorefractive iron-doped LiNbO3 crystals. We study the effect of the degree of oxidation …

We describe an improved mathematical model for photorefractive materials exhibiting hole-
electron competition where the constants accounting for electrical coupling between holes …

This chapter describes in detail the physics behind the formation of photorefractive spatial
solitons, taking care also of the mathematical aspects. Starting with a description of single …

We report the recording of a fixed good quality transmission hologram in LiNbO 3: Fe with
maximum index-of-refraction modulation using the simultaneous recording/compensation …

A comprehensive and up-to-date reference on holographic recording Photorefractive
Materials for Dynamic Optical Recording offers a comprehensive overview of the physics …
