Summary

"This volume describes the current understanding of the physical processes that combine to produce a photorefractive effect in key, representative composite materials. It describes how a straightforward physical model can be devised to describe the static and dynamic properties of photorefractive polymers." "Using the single-trap model to measure the electro-optical response that creates a phase hologram from the pattern in the electric field, Physics of Photorefraction in Polymers provides a detailed treatment of the best methods for observing photorefractive properties in polymers and explores applications that potentially supersede the capabilities of photorefractive crystals."--BOOK JACKET.
