Abstract

Photoconducting electrooptic polymers are a new class of photorefractive material. Most applications of photorefractive materials require the formation of a space-charge grating. The formation of space-charge gratings in photorefractive semiconductors has been studied extensively. We consider the formation of photorefractive gratings in a polymer.
