PHOTOACTIVE ORGANIC MATERIALS: SCIENCE AND APPLICATION
by Dr. F. Kajzar, CEN Saclay, Gif-sur-Yvette (France)

This book (NATO ASI SERIES 3-9) deals with the specific response of organic molecules to exciting optical fields at both the basic and applied levels. Written by leading specialists in the field, it covers the major advances in materials development, fabrication, and their most important applications, including electro-optic modulation, frequency conversion, image recognition, photorefractive and photochromic effects and light emitting diodes. The texts review the current state-of-the-art in these areas and introduce new research likely to influence future developments. The book will therefore be of invaluable assistance to workers active in this field and is also an attractive introduction for graduate students and newcomers.
