Photorefractive Optics: Materials, Properties, and Applications G.A. * Basic PrinciplesThe advances of photorefractive optics have demonstrated many useful and practical applications, which include the development of photorefractive optic devices for computer communication needs. To name a couple significant applications: the large capacity optical memory, which can greatly improve the accessible high speed CD ROM and the dynamic photorefractive gratings, which can be used for all optic switches for high speed fiber optic networks.
