An efficient photorefractive effect triggered by pyroelectricity is demonstrated in slab waveguides constituted of magnesium oxide (MgO)-doped LiNbO film on insulator. A microwatt-level continuous wave guided at 532 nm is self-trapped to form a 10 µm FWHM beam triggered by only a few degrees of temperature increase of the sample. A fast self-focusing response time on the order of milliseconds is measured for milliwatts of injected beam, more than two orders of magnitude faster than in the undoped LiNbO film. Long lived 2-D induced waveguides are found to be written in the films.

The transient dynamics of photocurrents for poly((4-diphenylamino)benzyl acrylate) (PDAA)-based photorefractive (PR) polymers sensitized with perylene bisimide derivative N,N'-diisopropylphenyl-1,6,7,12-tetrachloroperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxyl bisimide (PBI) at various composition ratios were studied. The PR polymer included (4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)methanol (TPAOH) photoconductive plasticizer and (4-(azepan-1-yl)-benzylidene) malononitrile nonlinear optical dye as well, which are needed for inducing PR effects. All the photocurrents measured at 640 nm were well simulated by a two-trapping site model considering photocarrier generation and recombination processes of the charge transfer (CT) complex between PBI and PDAA.

Topic: Topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for management of pain in patients after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Clinical Relevance: Pain after PRK is a major concern for both patients and surgeons. Although evidence supports the use of NSAIDs postoperatively, no consensus exists regarding the preferred regimen.
Photorefractivity and photocurrent dynamics of triphenylamine-based polymer composites.

The photorefractive properties of triphenylamine polymer-based composites with various composition ratios were investigated via optical diffraction, response time, asymmetric energy transfer, and transient photocurrent. The composite consisted of a photoconductive polymer of poly((4-diphenylamino)benzyl acrylate), a photoconductive plasticizer of (4-diphenylamino)phenyl)methanol, a sensitizer of [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester, and a nonlinear optical dye of (4-(azepan-1-yl)-benzylidene)malononitrile. The photorefractive properties and related quantities were dependent on the composition, which was related to the glass transition temperature of the photorefractive polymers.

In recent years, the need for systems capable of achieving the dynamic learning and information storage efficiency of the biological brain has led to the emergence of neuromorphic research. In particular, neuromorphic optics was born with the idea of reproducing the functional and structural properties of the biological brain. In this context, solitonic neuromorphic research has demonstrated the ability to reproduce dynamic and plastic structures capable of learning and storing through conformational changes in the network.
