Mechanisms of Photorefractivity in Polymeric Materials

Abstract

To develop advanced photorefractive (PR) polymers for future optical processing applications with higher speed, larger response, and infrared sensitivity, we will utilize organic synthesis and physical measurements to understand and thereby control the properties of photoinduced charge generation, photo conduction, optical nonlinearity, and trapping dynamics.
