▪ Abstract Rapid advances in the field of photorefractive polymers and composites have in
the brief time since their inception in 1991 led to the development of high-performance …

The photorefractive (PR) effect is defined as spatial modulation of the index of refraction due
to charge redistribution in an optically nonlinear material. The effect arises when …

Recent advances in polymeric electro-optic materials and device fabrication techniques
have significantly increased the potential for incorporation of these materials and devices …

We present experimental data that show that the greatly improved performance of a new
class of photorefractive polymers [see Donckers et al., Opt. Lett. 18, 1044 (1993)] is too large …

This straightforward text examines the scientific principles, characterization techniques, and
fabrication methods used to design and produce high quality optical fibers. Polymer Fiber …
