Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic properties. A vast amount of research effort has been poured into the subject of photorefractive materials in the last two decades (about 2000 papers written). These materials are of great interest both to physicists and engineers because they display a variety of new phenomena with great potential for applications. This book gives both a gentle introduction and a detailed account of all the major advances.
MoreLong description:
Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic properties: light affects their electrical conductivity; their optical properties (refractive index, etc.) are affected by applied electric fields.
The aim of this book is to cover the vast range of phenomena occurring in Photorefractive Materials. For Physicists it is part of the fashionable subject of Nonlinear Optics. Engineers tend to place it as part of optoelectronics promising a variety of new devices. This book summarizes the results of 28 years of research in a manner that would appeal both to the beginner (a graduate student who has just entered the field) and to the expert (who might have done research on some aspect of the subject for a decade or more). It is in three parts. Part I serves as an introduction with emphasis on physical principles and simple mathematical models. Part II is a comprehensive account of all the major advances. Its main merit is the organization of the material accompanied by a detailed list of references. Part III is concerned with the enormous range of potential applications.
'will be a valuable text and resource for many novice and experienced scientists and engineers. I learned many new and useful things from it and got a better picture of how the subject developed both historically and conceptually' Stephen Ducharme University of Nebraska
