Riassunto:

This book describes the processes of optical information recording in photorefractive crystals and applications of these materials in phaseconjugating devices, holographic interferometry, optical computers and sensors. Essentially, it is an extensive introduction to this new and rapidly developing area of quantum electronics. It presents physical concepts, fundamentals of theory and important experimental data. A rigorous treatment of basic phenomena is accompanied by a quantitative analysis, which is intended to make the book interesting to experts and accessible for newcomers to the field. Of particular interest to researchers is an extensive summary of basic physical and holographic parameters of all presently known photorefractive crystals and structures and also a detailed critical analysis of their applications. This textbook on nonlinear optics, holography and optical information processing is intended for researchers and students.
