Abstract:In the last three years, a number of researchers have succeeded in making polymers which exhibit the photorefractive effect.1-4 These polymers have numerous potential applications in integrated optics, optical processing, optical data storage, optical computing, communications, image processing, optical switching, thresholding, laser resonators, simulation of neural networks, and studies of nonlinear dynamics. Elements of these applications have been implemented in the laboratory using high-performance photore… Show more
