Abstract
The photorefractive properties of polymersfor holographic interferometry are currently often better than those of their inorganic counterparts. The theory of the photorefractive effect is briefly outlined before the relevant experimental techniques and chemical approaches are reviewed. Applications are mentioned, for example the possibility of visualizing vibrations as a fringe pattern (see Figure). magnified imageKeywords
