研究以球面波为参考光时体全息图的相对衍射效率问题，从理论计算中发现，当以球面波为参考光时，体全息图的串扰（ｃｒｏｓｓ－ｔａｌｋ）性能比用平面波时要略好一些，文章对此进行了分析解释并给出了实验验证。根据分析及实际读出的存储图像，发现球面参考光相对于平面参考光也不引起像质退化。这些特性表明了体全息存储器对于参考光平行度调节的要求并不十分严格。此外，文章还给出了以球面波为参考光时体全息图相对衍射效率的近似解析计算公式。     

Method for converting a Gaussian laser beam into a uniform beam

The use of a phase filter to convert a gaussian laser beam into a beam with more uniform irradiance distribution is discussed. This phase filter is calculated by employing an iterative procedure on a computer. A computer-generated hologram of this phase function is used to experimentally verify the feasibility of this method.     

Volume hologram – Coupled Fabry-Perot etalon

The volume hologram is considered as a series of coupled Fabry-Perot etalon. The interference of multi beam makes the band width of volume hologram very narrow. The positive feedback of Fabry-Perot provides high diffraction efficiency of volume hologram. The computer simulations for volume hologram based on the new model shows a good consistency with the coupled wave theory and the experimental results.     

The elliptical gaussian wave transformation due to diffraction by an elliptical hologram

Realized as an interferogram of a spherical and a cylindrical wave, the elliptical hologram is treated as a plane diffracting grating which produces Fresnel diffraction of a simple astigmatic gaussian incident wave. It is shown that if the principal axes of the incident beam coincide with the principal axes of the hologram, the diffracted wave field is composed of three different astigmatic gaussian waves, with their waists situated in parallel but distinct planes. The diffraction pattern, observed on a transverse screen, is the result of the interference of the three diffracted wave components. It consists of three systems of overlapped second-order curves, whose shape depends on the distance of the observation screen from the hologram, as well as on the parameters of the incident wave beam and the hologram. The results are specialized for gratings in the form of circular and linear holograms and for the case of a stigmatic gaussian incident wave, as well as for the normal plane-wave incidence on the three mentioned types of hologram.     

Digital in-line holography with a sub-picosecond laser beam

The diffraction of an ultrashort pulsed laser beam by an opaque particle is studied. The case of a pulse with a Gaussian spectrum is investigated analytically by using the steepest descent method. This analytical solution allows us to calculate the intensity distribution of the diffraction field. This result enables to determine the optimal fractional orders Fourier transform to reconstruct digital in-line particle hologram.

Influence of light polarization on the diffraction efficiency of TIR holograms

Normally when forming a TIR hologram two interference gratings are stored in the recording medium. The object beam interferes with the incoming and with the reflected reference beam. An appropriate selection of the polarization orientations of the interfering light beams leads to the suppression of one of the grating systems. Even to reconstruct TIR hologram it is not all the same in which orientation the reconstructing laser beam is polarized. With the proper selection of the polarization orientations of the forming and reconstructing laser light the diffraction efficiency for TIR holograms can be optimized.     

Atom-optics holograms

The temporal evolution of atomic wave packets interacting with object and reference electromagnetic waves is investigated, and an analytical solution for the off-resonant density matrix is presented. It is shown that, under certain physical conditions, the diffraction of an ultracold atomic beam by an inhomogeneous laser field can be interpreted as if the beam passes through a three-dimensional hologram. We show that high diffraction efficiencies can be realized if one restricts the extent of the atomic hologram in the time domain rather than in space. The hologram, thus, can work in a pulsed regime pumping atoms from the beam or from the initial wave packet into the reconstructed matter wave. The suggested regime is well compatible with the Raman cooling methods and the recent realization of an atom laser, which are capable of repeatedly reproducing coherent, or almost coherent, atomic wave packets necessary for the actual implementation of the reading beam. It is found that the diffraction efficiency of such a hologram may reach 100% and is determined by the duration of laser pulses. On this basis, a new method for the reconstruction of the object image with matter waves is offered. The latter may have useful practical applications, ranging from atom lithography, to the manufacturing of microstructures, and quantum microfabrication.

This procedure can be interpreted by Fourier optical theory and the theoretical analysis have been done in detail, the experimental results, the air freshener being subject, are also given.     

Diffraction patterns for a transmission volume hologram under Bragg mismatch

We have presented simulations and experiments for 2-dimensional diffraction distributions of a transmission volume hologram. We sample the input pattern with a few elementary points and calculate the diffraction of the corresponding elementary grating. The simulations can describe well the diffraction pattern obtained in the experiment and can be used to predict the tolerance for angular deviation of the reading beam. The tolerance for angular deviation depends on its direction. It is affected by the Bragg degeneracy. The simulation results provide a clear picture of the spatial tolerance for reading a transmission volume hologram.

Dynamic Light Diffraction by Holographic Gratings in Photopolymeric Materials

A theoretical model of light diffraction by tilted holographic gratings in photopolymeric materials in the nonstationary regime of reading, which describes the dynamic process of optical hologram amplification with allowance for the photopolymerization and diffusion mechanisms of recording, is developed. For the given model, the dynamics of the diffraction efficiency and selective properties of hologram reading are modeled numerically when Bragg's conditions are satisfied and violated. It is demonstrated that the diffraction characteristics of tilted holograms are spatially noninvariant for the reading beam direction. The optimal conditions of reading of tilted holograms are established.     

Diffraction study of photorefractive hologram under ultrashort pulse readout

Based on the diffraction efficiency equation of Kogelnik, the diffraction effect of a cw photorefractive hologram under ultrashort pulse illumination is theoretically analyzed. We find that the recorded grating has the function of filter to the incident pulse beam. To fully reconstruct the incident pulse, the crystal width must be smaller and grating period must be larger. In this paper we also discuss the total diffraction efficiency of the hologram, and find that the total diffraction efficiency is functions of the crystal length, pulse duration and the grating period. The conclusion of our paper can be used in ultrashort pulse shaping application.

Holographic Femtosecond Laser Processing with Multiplexed Phase Fresnel Lenses Displayed on a Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator

Parallel femtosecond laser processing with a computer-generated hologram displayed on a spatial light modulator (SLM) is demonstrated. Use of the SLM enables performance of an arbitrary and variable patterning in laser processing. The hologram uses multiplexed phase Fresnel lenses (MPFLs) with features of independent tunability, three-dimensional (3D) parallelism of the diffraction peaks, optimization of the hologram with low computational costs, and low contribution of zero-order light to the processing. To make uniform the reconstructed diffraction peaks, an MPFL is optimized by changing the center phase and size of each phase Fresnel lens while taking account of the intensity distribution of the irradiated laser pulse and the spatial frequency response of an SLM. Using the holographic technique, two-dimensional parallel processing with a single-pulse irradiation of glass is demonstrated and the processing performance is analyzed.     

Recycling of undiffracted laser light for reconstruction of holograms

When a laser source is used to illuminate a transmission hologram, the zero order beam is not utilised and is just wasted. The paper describes a new technique for economical utilisation of laser light by recycling the transmitted light to reconstruct a number of holograms simultaneously for viewing by a large number of observers. There is no danger to viewer who is exposed to the undiffracted laser beams transmitted through the hologram. The paper also discusses the diffraction efficiency requirement of successive hologram and the limit of number of holograms in the scheme.     

Improvement of the diffraction efficiency and kinetics of holographic gratings in photochromic media by auxiliary light

Holographic gratings recorded in photochromic media often do not obtain the maximally achievable diffraction efficiency because of diminishing the fringe contrast caused, e.g., by a photochemically active readout beam or unequal intensities of object and reference waves. For nonreversible materials this problem causes a decrease in diffraction efficiency that is proportional to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). However, in nonlinear materials such as photochromic media, for which saturation effects need to be considered, an out-of-proportion decrease in the SNR results. It is shown that an overshooting peak during hologram growth, which then decays to a lower permanent level of diffraction, is an indicator for such a situation. Even a weak readout beam may cause such effects, which significantly affect the hologram kinetics. The observed overshooting diffraction efficiency may even be misinterpreted to be dependent on material properties. Experimental and theoretical proof that with low levels of auxiliary light this type of problem can be eliminated completely is presented. Throughout this research bacteriorhodopsin films were used, but the results are valid for photochromic media in general.
