The propagation of electromagnetic waves in a photorefractive crystal is considered. The electromagnetic waves(i.e. TE waves and TM, waves) incident upon the crystal at any incident angle are coupled with reflected waves due to the Fresnel's reflectance in the photorefractive crystal. This coupling leads to a nonreciprocal optical transmissivity. About some incident angles, the optical transmissivity of TE and TM waves in regard to the coupling strength is investigated.

Bragg diffraction of a strong reference beam from a steady-state photorefractive grating is measured experimentally and an analytic prediction is derived from the coupled wave equations of two-beam energy coupling. The relation between Bragg diffraction and two-beam coupling is used to check the mechanism of photorefractive grating formation.

We suggest binary image decryption system using two-wave mixing in photorefractive crystal. Compared with a conventional method, this method can make optical alignment easily, and brighten the encrypted image even if a small input signal, by index grating of photorefractive crystal. Also it can reconstruct the encrypted image by only reference beam in real time.

The photorefractive polymeric composite with good performance was prepared. The carbazole-substituted polysiloxane sensitized by 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone was used as a photoconducting medium and 1-[4-(2-nitrovinyl)phenyl]piperidine was added as an optically nonlinear chromophore. The photorefractive property of polymer was determined by diffraction efficiency using a 100 ㎛-thick film. The maximum diffraction efficiency ( ηmax) of 71% was obtained at the electric field of 70 V/ ㎛. The potential of the current polymer material as a holographic recording medium was evaluated by the demonstration of holographic recording and subsequent reading of optical image.

광굴절 매질은 높은 감도와 실시간 정보의 재기록 특성 때문에 동적 홀로그램과 그밖에 다른 광 신호 처리 소자로써 널리 연구되어지고 있다. 동적 홀로그램 매질에는 다중 양자 우물 구조(multiple quantum well structures), 네마틱 액정(nematic liquid crystals), 광굴절 결정(photorefractive crystal)과 폴리머 등의 다양한 종류의 형태가 있다. 특히 광굴절 고분자(photorefractive polymer)는 다양한 종류와 크기로 제작이 가능하며, 빠른 처리속도, 높은 이득계수(gain coefficient) 등으로 인하여 기존의 무기물 광굴절 결정(inorganic photorefractive crystal)을 대체할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다.

The photorefractive composites fabricated by blending NLO chromophores such as 3-(4-{bis-[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-phenyl]-amino}-phenyl)-2-isocyano-acrylonitrile (PAIA), bis-[4-(2-ethyl-hexyloxy)-phenyl]-{4-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)-vinyl]-phenyl}-amine (PNPA) with photoconducting crosslinkable matrix, bis-(4-ethynylphenyl)-(4-octyloxyphenyl)-amine (BEOPEA), showed photorefractive property due to the high composition of NLO chromophores caused by introducing alkoxy chain, and many problems faced in typical organic photorefractive systems such as timeconsuming chemical synthesis, difficulty in rational design, intrinsic instability and phase separation could be avoided.

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 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, a photorefractive crystal is utilized as an output device, specifically as a time integrating detector for an acousto-optic correlator. In a standard time integrating acousto-optic architecture which uses CCDs, the output correlation signal is presented which includes bias. This results in a limitation on the effective dynamic range of the correlator. In a photorefractive crystal, light without spatial variation does not produce a cumulative bias signal and hence when the photorefractive crystal is used as the integrating detector, the correlation signal can be recorded and read out without bias. Important characteristics such as linearity dynamic range and integration time are also presented in this paper.

A series of amorphous molecules that possess both photoconductive and electro-optic properties was synthesized in order to investigate photorefractive properties of bifunctional organic-glasses. Diethylaminobenzaldehyde-diphenylhydrazone was covalently attached to 5-(4-diethylamino-benzylidene)-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4,6-trione through a flexible alkyl chain (3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 carbons) containing two ether linkages. The longer linkage not only lowered the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of the molecules, but also allowed faster orientation of the chromophore. To examine the photorefractive properties, a 50 ${\mu}$m-thick film was prepared from the mixture of a bifunctional molecule, butyl benzyl phthalate, and $C_{60}$. The photoconductivity of this composite was as high as $8.01\;{\times}\;10^{-12}$ S/cm at 60 V/ ${\mu}$m, and the maximum diffraction efficiency ( ${\eta}_{max}$) of 50 ${\mu}$m-thick film was about 5% at 80 V/ ${\mu}$m.
