For many years, considerable research efforts have been directed toward exploring the
interaction between light and matter for the prospective replacement of electronic devices …

Optical data storage has had a major impact on daily life since its introduction to the market
in 1982. Compact discs (CDs), digital versatile discs (DVDs), and Blu‐ray discs (BDs) are …

During the last years, significant progress has been achieved in understanding the
mechanism of the photorefractive effect in amorphous organic materials. New chromophores …

This review describes recent advances and applications in the field of organic
photorefractive materials, an interesting area in the field of organic electronics and …

Nickel sulfide uniform hollow spheres (see scanning electron microscopy image, Figure)
have been successfully synthesized by γ‐irradiation of a PMMA–CS2–ethanol aqueous …

The photorefractive properties of polymer composites based on poly (N-vinylcarbazole),
doped with the sensitizer C60, the plasticizer butyl benzyl phthalate, and two series of …

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 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 …

We synthesized 2-{3-[(E)-2-(dibutylamino)-1-ethenyl]-5, 5-dimethyl-2-cyclohexenylidene}
malononitrile as a noval nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore for photorefractive materials …
