Photorefraetivity in polymeric materials has been a rapidly growing field of research.1-3 The efficiency of photorefractive polymers (PRP) has been improved by five orders of magnitude in a short period of time. Fully reversible, refractive index modulation amplitudes higher than An = 7×10−3 and two-beam coupling net gain coefficients higher than Γ = 200 cm−1 have been achieved recently2 in a PVK (poly[N-vinylcarbazole])-based polymers doped with the nonlinear optical chromophore DMNPAA4 and the photoconducting plasticizer ECZ (N-ethylcarbazole).
