Gravitational effects on defect formation in melt grown photorefractive materials : bismuth silicate (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Photorefractivity is the modulation of index of refraction due to nonuniform illumination, and numerous applications have been demonstrated utilizing this nonlinear optical property. However, commercial production is ...
