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 …

Ferroelectric materials, in addition to possessing the unique property of a reversible,
spontaneous polarization, exhibit a range of other significant and useful properties. These …

A theory is presented for the intrinisic anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect observed in
noncentrosymmetric crystals, eg, BaTi O 3. An exact formula is derived for the calculation of …

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 …

We present a phenomenological description and a quantum-mechanical theory of electron
transport in the anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect (ABPVE) in ferroelectrics. Our theory is …

With most new or advancing technologies, the period of discovery and initial investigation of
fundamental principles is immediately followed by a period of intensive search for materials …

An overview of optical nonlinearities of small bound polarons is given, which can occur in
the congruently melting composition of LiNbO 3. Such polarons decisively influence the …
