WHAT DOES PHOTOREFRACTIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Photorefractive effect

The photorefractive effect is a nonlinear optical effect seen in certain crystals and other materials that respond to light by altering their refractive index. The effect can be used to store temporary, erasable holograms and is useful for holographic data storage. It can also be used to create a phase-conjugate mirror or an optical spatial soliton.

Definition of photorefractive in the English dictionary

The definition of photorefractive in the dictionary is of or relating to a change in refractive index, that is, the ratio of the speed of light in air as opposed to another medium, in the presence of light or another electric.
