Applications with inorganic photorefractives: marketed systems and future potentialities

In his talk, Dr. Georges will present some applications using inorganic photorefractive materials that present potentialities in various fields. He will focus particularly on recent works that gave birth to commercial systems and those that were granted "Best applications of photorefractive materials" in OSA sponsored or co-sponsored Topical Meetings on Photorefractive Effects, Materials and Devices like:
- Holographic filtering in telecoms and laser mode filtering.
- Dynamic hologram recording: laser ultrasound non-destructive testing.
- Holographic interferometry for metrology and non-destructive testing.
Dr. Georges will discuss the figures of merit of recording materials and try to initiate a debate for new application potentialities related to new photorefractive or photosensitive materials.
