▪ Abstract Rapid advances in the field of photorefractive polymers and composites have in
the brief time since their inception in 1991 led to the development of high-performance …

A novel photorefractive polymer composite is reported which exhibits a high two-beam
coupling gain coefficient (Γ200 cm 1 at 120 V/μm, fast response time (τg 50 ms at 1 W/cm2) …

Two photorefractive polymer composites are presented that exhibit the fastest response
times reported to date by an order of magnitude (g 5 ms at 1 W/cm2), while maintaining large …

Materials demonstrating a photorefractive effect are principal candidates for numerous
applications, including high‐density optical data storage, optical image processing, phase …

To manifest a photorefractive effect, the polymer must possess a photocharge generator, a
charge transporter, a charge trapping center, and a nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore …

Photorefractive materials can form" instant" holograms without time-consuming development
steps. Their potential applications include image processing, optical data storage, and …

The high-performance photorefractive polymer composite PVK: PDCST: BBP: C_60 is
investigated in detail by use of optical two-wave mixing characterization measurements in …

Photorefractive (PR) materials are multifunctional materials which combine
photoconductivity and an electro-optic (EO) response to manifest a photorefractive effect. 1 …

We present experimental data that show that the greatly improved performance of a new
class of photorefractive polymers [see Donckers et al., Opt. Lett. 18, 1044 (1993)] is too large …

Recently, chromophores with a large figure-of-merit for incorporation into photorefractive
polymers with low glass-transition temperature have become available. However, their …
