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 …

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

We present a theoretical model that describes holographic ionic fixing and storage dynamics
in photorefractive crystals. Holographic gratings that are based on charge redistribution …

This self-contained treatment of the principles, techniques, and applications of holography
examines theory and practice, image analysis, specialized techniques, and a range of …

Volume holographic gratings (VHGs) are the key components for producing laser diodes
(LDs) with a temperature-stabilized wavelength and narrowed linewidth. We review the …

Surface-localized electromagnetic fields can induce strong reorientation of liquid crystals
(LC s), thus making it possible to observe a whole new class of opto-electronic phenomena …

We discuss thermal fixing as a solution to the volatility problem in holographic storage
systems that use photorefractive materials such as LiNbO_3: Fe. We present a systematic …

Experimental results on the developing kinetics and final diffraction efficiency of fixed
holograms in iron-doped lithium niobate are presented. Samples with two different oxidation …
