This is the first volume of a set of three within the Springer Series in Optical Sciences, and is devoted to photorefractive effects, photorefractive materials, and their applications. Since the publication of our first two Springer books on Photorefractive Materials and Their Applications (Topics in Applied Physics, Vols. 61 and 62) almost 20 years ago, a lot of research has been done in this area. New and often expected effects have been discovered, theoretical models developed, known effects finally explained, and novel applications proposed. We believe that the field has now reached a high level of maturity, even if research continues in all areas mentioned above and with new discoveries arriving quite regularly. We therefore have decided to invite some of the top experts in the field to put together the state of the art in their respective fields. This after we had been encouraged to do so for more than ten years by the publisher, due to the fact that the former volumes were long out of print.read more

Controlling waves in space and time for imaging and focusing in complex media
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used strongly scattering materials to focus, shape and compress waves by controlling the many degrees of freedom in the incident waves in complex media such as white paint and biological tissue.

Carbazole-containing polymers: synthesis, properties and applications
TL;DR: The synthesis and properties of carbazole-containing polymers are reviewed with 451 references in this paper, including polymers with pendant carbazolyl groups, polymers containing electronically isolated carbonazole moieties in the main chain, polymer with π-conjugated main chain and polymers as well as carbazoleside-containing molecular glasses.

A photorefractive polymer with high optical gain and diffraction efficiency near 100
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a polymer composite with excellent photorefractive properties, achieving a diffraction efficiency approaching 100% and a net two-beam coupling gain of more than 200 cm-1.

Time-reversed ultrasonically encoded optical focusing into scattering media.
TL;DR: This work proposed and experimentally validated a novel concept, called Time-Reversed Ultrasonically Encoded (TRUE) optical focusing, to deliver light into any dynamically defined location inside a scattering medium.
