  • The photorefractive (PR) effect in liquid crystals sandwiched between photoconductive polymer layers was first studied by Ono et al. They reported that the PR effect vanished at steady state If there were not insulating layers because no charge trapping occurred in the photoconductive poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) layers. However we observed a significant PR effect in the polymer layered liquid crystal (PLLC) system where a liquid crystal layer doped with fullerene is sandwiched between two photoconductive PVK layers.

  • Photorefractive polymer composites were synthesized based on poly (N-vinylcazbazole) (PVK) doped with liquid nonlinear optical chromophores and a sensitizer $C_{60}$. PVK/liquid NLO chromophores/$C_{60}$ devices showed no signs of phase separation and did not require a plasticizer, such as ethylcarbazole. The composites showed 69% diffraction efficiency (C3) and a rapid response time of 46 ms (C1) in four-wave mixing experiments at a light intensity of $60\;mW/cm^2$ and a wavelength of 633 nm.

  • In this paper, we study the photorefractive properties of Fe indiffused $LiNbO_3$ waveguides. Comparing the photorefractive properties of $Fe:LiNbO_3$ with those of $LiNbO_3$, we confirm the increase of the diffraction efficiency and the sensitivity by Fe doping. Also for the photorefractive properties of $Fe:LiNbO_3$ waveguides with different ambient gases, the diffaction efficiency and the sensitivity of $Fe:LiNbO_3$ indifused in pure argon gases are the highest and its decay time is the shortest. Therefore, it is recommended that pure argon gases be used in Fe indiffusion process for good optical switches with photorefractive effect.

  • In photorefractive crystals, light deflection is achieved by dynamic photorefractive volume grating, which is induced by the interference of two writing beams. In this paper, we implemented and analyzed the light deflector using Ce-SBN:60 crystals, which is doped with CeO$_2$ and photorefractive effect is induced by low intensity. And we measured maximum coupling coefficient, effective charge density, diffraction efficiency as the intensity ratio and response time.

  • In this paper, the real-time color pattern recognition system is experimented by optical approach using the SLM(TH LCD) and a photorefractive material. In the implemented system, the character patterns to recognize are controlled of an SLM, and a 10mm thick LiNbO$_3$ crystal having high angular selectivity and photorefractive effect is used for recording materials. The shape and color informations of the red or green color patterns are excellently discriminated at independent positions by real-time processing, as the results obtained by proposed optical architecture.

  • The space charge fields, including intermode apace charge fields in photorefractive material with two impurities are obtained for the small light intensity at large modulation depth, and their implication of high-capacity volume holographic interconnection are presented. In the following data regions the effect of intermode space charge fields are suppresed and the criteria for optimal implementation of volume holographic interconnections are satisfied.

  • We prepared the photorefractive sol-gel glass based on organic-inorganic hybrid materials containing a charge transporting molecule, second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore, photosensitizer, and plasticizer. Carbazole and 2-{ 4-[(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-methyl-amino]-benzylidene}-malononitrile were reacted with isocyanato-triethoxy silane and the functionalized silanes were employed to fabricate the efficient photorefractive media induding 2,4,7-trinitrot1uorenone (TNF) to form a charge transfer complex. The prepared sol-gel glass samples showed a large net gain coefficient and high diffraction efficiency at a certain composition. As the concentration of photosensitizer increased, the photorefractive properties were enhanced due to an increment of charge carrier density. Dynamic behavior of the diffraction efficiency was also investigated with the concentration of the photosensitizer.

  • We verified through a noncritical phase-matched second-harmonic generation experiment that the periodically-poled $LiNbO_3$ (PPLN) had a large effective nonlinear optical coefficient, demonstrating that the QPM grating was uniform throughout the entire length of PPLN. The quasi-phase matching temperature was $193.4^{\circ}C$. The maximum SHG output power at the fundamental power of 2.0 W was found to be 18.0 mW; generated second-harmonic beam was found to have no photorefractive effect.
