Physics and Applications of Photorefractive Materials

Zusatztext '...one of the real strenghts of this book is that it is genuinely well written. The nature of the material is such that it will never be a light read, but the writing itself has such clarity that any difficulties in absorbing the material is intrinsic in material and not the presentation....well thought out in terms of how the material is arranged...the book is well presented and a useful reference. For people in the active field, it does a fine job in placing their results in a strong experimental and theoretical context' Photonics Science Reviews Klappentext Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic properties. Nearly 2000 papers have been written about the subject in the last twenty years, and physicists and engineers are interested in the great variety of potential applications. This book summarizes all the advances in this field in a manner that provides both a good introduction for beginning students and a detailed account for more experienced researchers. Zusammenfassung Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic properties. A large amount of research has been poured into the subject of photorefractive materials in the last two decades. This book provides an introduction and a detailed account of all the major advances.
