Reviews

The photorefractive effect is an unconventional nonlinear optical phenomenon occurring in materials that are photoconductive, have partially filled charge traps and exhibit a change in their refractive indexes in the presence of an electric field. . . .The subject is mature and the time is right for a thorough and cohesive text like The Physics and Applications of Photorefractive Materials. . . .A valuable text and resource for many novice and experienced scientists and engineers. I learned many new and useful things from it and got a better picture of how the subject developed, both historically and conceptually. --Stephen Ducharme in Physics Today<br>
