This is the second of two volumes that review, for the first time,
all major aspects of photorefractive effects and their
applications. Photorefractive effects in electro-optic crystals are
based on optically induced space-charge fields which ultimately
alter the refractive indices by the electro-optic Pockels effect.
The fundamental phenomena leading to photoinduced changes of
refractive index, the materials requirements and experimental
results on a variety of photorefractive materials are discussed and
the most recent theoretical models describing these phenomena are
presented. Interest in photorefractive materials has increased in
recent years mainly because of their potential for nonlinear
optical devices and for optical signals processing applications.
Most of these applications are reviewed in this volume. The
contributions to the two volumes are written by experts on each
topic and are intended for scientists and engineers active in the
field and for researchers and graduate students entering the field.
Over 300 references to original papers on photorefractive and
associated phenomena are cited. Volume 1 appeared as Volume 61 of
"Topics in Applied Physics."
