Abstract
In this paper we review both photorefractive and nonlinear optical materials for optoelectronic applications. The material requirements for nonlinear optical laser-frequency conversion using the electronic hyperpolarizabilities and optical signal processing using the photorefractive effect will be discussed. Some representative examples of newer photorefractive and nonlinear optical materials and their properties and applications are described.
