Abstract

The basic physical theory of the photorefractive effect will be presented. Methods will be discussed for utilizing the effect for the storage of information as well as optical display of information. The fundamental limits on writing time, access time and storage density will be related to the physical properties of the materials involved. Particularly promising materials, such as LiNb0₃ will be discussed in detail.
