Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applications and properties of nonlinear optical materials were studied, especially photorefractive crystals. A summary includes: (1) Demonstration of a new technique for seeing an object buried in or behind a scattering medium using time-resolved holography in a spectral hole-burning material. (2) Demonstration of an all-optical switchboard using stimulated, mutually-pumped phase conjugation in a photorefractive crystal. (3) Use of optical novelty filters to detect small changes in an optical scene. (4) Invention of an electric field correlator to measure the coherence length of picosecond laser pulses, using two-wave mixing in a photorefractive crystal. (5) Derivation of a theory of beam coupling and pulse shaping picosecond light pulses in photorefractive crystals. (6) Development of a new, multiple level model to explain the nonlinear photoconductivity of barium titanate crystals. (7) Investigation of the role of absorption gratings in beam coupling in barium titanate crystals and showing how these gratings can conveniently be used to determine the density of charge in these crystals. (8) Explanation of how stimulated processes cause the curved beam paths observed in mutually-pumped and self-pumped phase conjugators.

Download or read book Photorefractive Materials and Their Applications II written by Peter Günter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-06-27 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Laser Optics of Condensed Matter written by J. Birman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Third Binational USA-USSR Symposium titled "Laser Optics of Con densed Matter" was held in Leningrad 1 June - 5 June 1987. This volume con tains the full text of 64 papers presented at (or prepared for) the Symposium in both plenary and poster sessions. This Symposium reestablished the very productive series of "Light Scattering" Binational Symposia which were initi ated in Moscow in 1975. Unfortunately there was an eight-year hiatus follow ing the Second Symposium in New York (1979). This interval, caused by serious chilling of the climate of USA-USSR collaboration, deprived the active scien tists on both sides of the opportunity to meet and interact in the active format of a conference. During this eight year interval there has been very rapid and intense development of scientific activity in the general area of laser optics phe nomena. The development of ultrafast laser sources has permitted rapid advances in time resolved spectroscopy and ultrafast processes; the field of optical bistability and strong nonlinearity became a hot topic; and intense work is now underway to clarify ideas of photon localization. These new dev elopments complement many advances in the study of low dimensional systems such as surfaces, new work on phase transitions, and novel studies of elemen tary excitations such as polariton-excitons in localized environments such as quantum wells and heterojunctions.
