Considerable progress has been made in organic photorefractive materials, since the first observation of photorefractive phenomena from organic materials. Within recent years, a large number of organic photorefractive materials, especially amorphous materials, have been developed based on polymeric composites, fully functional polymers and the multi-functional chromophore approach. Among these organic photorefractive materials, some of them containing carbazole components as a charge transporting function have been demonstrated to exhibit high performance photorefractive effects. The carbazole building blocks with charge transporting function or multifunctions play a very important role in photorefraction. In this paper, it confirmed that acceptor-substituted carbazoles show the multifunctionality both of photoconductivity and electro-optic(EO) activity and photorefractive materials newly can be developed with acceptor-substituted carbazoles.

Polymeric photorefractive materials exhibit two attractive features, the large refractive index modulation (up to the order of $10^{-2}$) and the optical erasabilility of recorded holographic information. These advantages make the organic photorefractive materials to become candidates for optical data processing, e.g., pattern recognition and fingerprint verification. In this work, we demonstrate optically controlled SLMs using photorefractive composite. An incoherent image imposed in Xe-lamp light was converted into a coherent image.

Nonlinear beam coupling phenomena in photorefractive materials are analyzed as a function of the input beam intensities. Signal beam saturation and pump beam depletion are shown to be the intensity-dependent functions of these materials. Utilizing these phenomena in a photorefractive BaTiO3 crystal, optical logic processors such as AND, OR, NOT, etc., are implemented.

A new photoconducting polymer, diphenyl hydrazone-substituted polysiloxane, was successfully synthesized by the hydrosilylation method and characterized by FT-IR, $^1$H-NMR, and $^{29}$ Si-NMR spectroscopy. The glass transition temperature (T$_{g}$) of the polysiloxane having pendant diphenyl hydrazone was ca. 62 $^{\circ}C$, which enabled a component of a low-T$_{g}$ photorefractive material to be prepared without the addition of any plasticizers. This polysiloxane, with 1 wt% of $C_{60}$ dopant, showed a high photoconductivity (2.8 ${\times}$ 10$^{-12}$ S/cm at 70 V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) at 633 nm, which is necessary for fast build-up of the space-charge field. A photorefractive composite was prepared by adding a nonlinear optical chromophore, 2-{3-[2-(dibutylamino)-1-ethenyl]-5,5-dimethyl-2-cyclohexenylidene} malononitrile, into the photoconducting polysiloxane together with $C_{60}$ . This composite shows a large orientation birefringence ($\Delta$n = 2.6 ${\times}$ 10$^{-3}$ at 50 V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and a high diffraction efficiency of 81 % at an electric field of 40 V /${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.textrm}{m}$.EX>.

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.

Volume holograms recorded in photorefractive materials can find important applications in optical memories and optical computing systems. One problem with a photorefractive hologram is that it gets erased by the readout light. Nondestructive readout can be achieved by hologram fixing, and several fixing methods have been reported. Fixing is accomplished by thermally activated motion of an unknown ionic defect, which neutralizes the electronic space-charge patterns. At room temperature the ionic patterns are stabilized. When the electrons are partially redistributed by light, a net space-charge pattern appears, and tile fixed hologram can be read out. In this paper, theoretical modeling and some experimental results are presented for thermal fixing of volume phase holograms in photorefractive $LiNbO_3$:Fe. Thermal fixing can be done during or after recording and depends on fixing temperature ($100{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ range) and grating length. Fixed Slating can be erased completely at the temperature over $300^{\circ}C$. Theoretical modeling shows weil the compensation of electronic Slating by ionic grating and is in good agreement with experimental results. In experiments the dependence of thermal fixing on temperatures and grating lengths is investigated.

In this paper, A simple image hologram encryption and decryption technique based on the principle of interference are proposed. The technique using the photorefractive material for getting a stable interference pattern is also proposed. And combine these two techniques, I would like to implement a stable optical information security system. In the encrypting process, I would generate binary phase hologram which can reconstruct original image perfectly, and regard this hologram as original image to be encrypted image. And then the hologram is encrypted as randomly generated binary phase image. Reference image is also generated from the encrypted image by applying interference rule. In the decrypting process, I can get a interference intensity by interfering the reference image and the encrypted image in the interferometer. and transform inferference intensity information into phase information. I recover original image by inverse Fourier transforming the phase information. In this process, the intensity information generated by interference of two images is very sensitive to external vibrations. So, I would like to get a stable interference using the characteristic of SPPCM(self pumped phase conjugate mirror) in photorefractive materials, especially BaTiO₃.

In this paper, the real-time color pattern recognition system is experimented by optical approach using the SLM(TH LCD) and a photorefractive material. In the implemented system, the character patterns to recognize are controlled of an SLM, and a 10mm thick LiNbO$_3$ crystal having high angular selectivity and photorefractive effect is used for recording materials. The shape and color informations of the red or green color patterns are excellently discriminated at independent positions by real-time processing, as the results obtained by proposed optical architecture.
