Abstract. In several oxide crystals the refractive index can be changed by inhomogeneous
illumination, and these photorefractive properties have allowed for a wide variety of …

Epitaxial La0. 5Sr0. 5CoO3 films with very smooth surface morphology were grown on (100)

Bi-doped yttrium iron garnet (BixY3− xFe5O12, Bi: YIG) thin films, which can be used as
electric current sensors, are grown on Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) substrates by pulsed laser …

The parameters of planar and channel waveguide lasers fabricated by different techniques
are reviewed. Materials and properties of thin films used for creation of planar waveguide …

Pulsed laser-assisted deposition (PLD) has recently emerged as a most promising film
growth technique, at least for basic research, as this has been best demonstrated for high Tc …

An analytical model is developed to study layered structures of photorefractive thin films, a
promising application of stratified volume holographic optical elements. The theory gives a …

Growth and characterization of compositionally tuned, ytterbium-doped mixed lutetium-
