Photorefractive Organic Materials and Applications
This book provides comprehensive, state-of-the art coverage of photorefractive organic compounds, a class of material with the ability to change their index of refraction upon illumination. The change is both dynamic and reversible. Dynamic because no ext

Preface
I was introduced to the photorefractive effect in organic compounds in 1994 when I started my career at the Centre Spatial de Liege (Belgium). The objective of the program was to develop nondestructive testing technology to analyze aerospace structures and payloads. At the time, that class of materials had just been discovered and was a scientific hot topic. While the science was interesting, the figures
