With much excitement and great enthusiasm I introduce this thorough treatise on the major
aspects of domain and domain wall phenomena in ferroics, mostly ferroelectrics, a major …

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 …

Интерес к протяженным структурам с периодически изменяющимися значениями
оптических, упругих и других физических параметров возник еще в начале 60-х годов в …

The state of the art of studies of the formation of domain structures is reviewed. Various
methods of ferroelectric and magnetic domain formation are discussed, including putting …

The microscopic mechanism of spontaneous polarization and refractive indices in 180°
ferroelectric domain walls of tetragonal Barium titanate (BaTiO3) is discussed by using a …

Second-harmonic scattering (SHS) of light by laminar ferroelectric domains of the
orthorhombic phase of RbH2PO4 below T c= 147 K is studied in detail. CCD images of the …

A new method for characterization of periodically poled crystals is developed based on
spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The method is demonstrated on crystals of Y …

A method for measuring the spatial profiles of the second‐order non‐linear susceptibility χ
(2)(z) in the bulk of periodically poled crystals and other structures was developed. The …

We describe the observation of quasi-phase-matched spontaneous parametric down-
conversion in eee-geometry in periodically poled LiTaO 3 crystals. For scattered light, the …

A new method is proposed for measuring the spatial distribution of the quadratic
susceptibility of inhomogeneous nonlinear media. The method is based on the unique …
