The Physics and Applications of Photorefractive Materials

‘will be a valuable text and resource for many novice and experienced scientists and engineers. I learned many new and useful things from it and got a better picture of how the subject developed both historically and conceptually’ Stephen Ducharme University of Nebraska’…one of the real strenghts of this book is that it is genuinely well written. The nature of the material is such that it will never be a light read, but the writing itself has such clarity that any difficulties in absorbing the material is intrinsic in material and not the presentation….well thought out in terms of how the material is arranged…the book is well presented and a useful reference. For people in the active field, it does a fine job in placingtheir results in a strong experimental and theoretical context’ Photonics Science Reviews
