Contribution of Absorptive and Refractive Gratings to Mixed Holograms Using Xanthene-Dye-Doped Films

The contribution of absorptive and refractive gratings to a mixed hologram is investigated by means of two-wave coupling technique by moving a hologram. Polyvinyl alcohol films doped with xanthene-dyes such as erythrosin B,eosin Y, uranin and fluorescein which absorb an argon-ion laser light of 488 nm and 515 nm are used as hologram recording materials in our experiment. A simple model of the two-level one-step photo-bleaching well explains the growth of an absorptive grating and the refractive index and also the working wavelength dependence of growth of the refractive grating in the xanthene-dye-doped films.     

Optimal switching from recording to fixing for high diffraction from a LiNbO3:Ce:Cu photorefractive nonvolatile hologram

An oscillatory characteristic of diffraction is observed as a result of strong beam coupling in a weakly oxidized LiNbO3:Ce:Cu crystal during the recording step in the production of nonvolatile photorefractive holograms. On this basis the optimal switching time from the recording step to the fixing step for high diffraction of a fixed hologram is studied. It is shown that switching after the first diffraction maximum leads theoretically to fixed diffraction of as much as 100% with a suitable switching time. Both an experimental demonstration and a theoretical simulation are presented.     

Dynamic holography in alkali metal vapour

Problems of dynamic hologram recording on resonant absorption lines of alkali metal vapour are discussed. Light beams and media parameters are determined that are necessary for hologram recording with usable efficiency. The effects of thermal atomic motion and the radiative transport of excitation influence on the spatial frequency transfer function of two-level media are investigated. Results of hologram recording in vapour of Rb (780.0 nm) and Cs (852.1 nm) using low-power CW-lasers are presented. Transmission holograms in the volume media and reflection holograms near the boundary of the resonant vapour and the dielectric are compared. For transmission holograms the advantage of collinear read-out when using pure vapour in comparison with a counterpropagating read-out is shown, and this makes it possible to achieve higher values of hologram efficiency over a wide range of atomic density. It is shown that reflection hologram recording is characterized by higher resolution, as compared with hologram recordings in the volume of extended media. Problems of metal vapour hologram usage for laser parameter control are discussed. The feasibility of holograms in Cs-vapour usage as a spectral-selective real-time feedback element in a semiconductor laser external cavity is shown.     

High-efficiency volume hologram recording with a pulsed signal beam

We present an efficient photorefractive volume hologram recording technique with a pulsed signal beam and continuous reference-beam illumination. The grating envelope can be simply controlled by manipulation of the duty cycle of the signal beam. Thus, for any grating coupling strength and different initial reference-signal intensity ratios, the diffraction efficiency can be maximized with this technique and can be greatly increased in comparison with that of the conventional recording technique.     

双波长全息术实验研究及在自适应光学中的应用

在双波长全息术中,全息图可用一个波长记录,用另一个波长重现。用光学寻址液晶空间光调制器作为记录介质,可方便实现动态双波长全息图的记录。经一个畸变波前记录动态全息图后,由具有相同畸变的另一个波前去重现该动态全息图,可以实现对光学波前畸变的等比例缩小。在用于自适应光学的负性反馈回路中时,可简化大波前畸变的测量过程,可在中红外光谱范围内记录并制作动态全息图畸变校正器(在此波段直接的全息记录是极难的),也能增大可校正的畸变范围。介绍了这种动态干涉仪的实验实现,及该动态全息记录技术应用于自适应光学的前景。     

数字全息周期像的产生机理及在抑制零级衍射上的应用

在数字全息成像中, 利用CCD的RGB模式采样全息图时, 全息重构像会出现特定的周期性分布. 本文从理论和实验上详细研究了这种周期像产生的机理、分布特性和应用. 研究结果显示, 由于CCD的光谱滤镜会使全息图的RGB三个单色采样阵列出现部分像素信号的缺失, 因此, 需要通过特定的demosaicing数学算法对缺失的像素信号进行重建以形成完整的单色采样阵列, 这是数字全息再现像周期分布产生的根源. 而基于demosaicing算法的采样阵列重建会在全息图频谱中引入调制函数, 导致物体再现像和零级衍射斑的周期分布差异. 本文揭示了全息图的RGB采样、demosaicing算法与全息重构像周期性之间的内在关联. 最后, 讨论了结合空间移位和图像形态学技术, 利用重构像的周期性抑制零级衍射斑的应用. 所有理论与实验研究结果完全一致. 关键词： 数字全息 图像周期性 零级斑抑制

Observation of all-optical bump-on-tail instability

We demonstrate an all-optical bump-on-tail instability by considering the nonlinear interaction of two partially coherent spatial beams. For weak wave coupling, we observe momentum transfer with no variation in intensity. For strong wave coupling, modulations appear in intensity and evidence appears for wave (Langmuir) collapse at large scales. Borrowing plasma language, these limits represent regimes of weak and strong spatial optical turbulence. In both limits, the internal spectral energy redistribution is observed by recording and reconstructing a hologram of the evolving dynamics. The results are universal and can appear in any wave-kinetic system with short-wave-long-wave coupling.

Hologram recording in glass and direct reconstruction using visible-wavelength laser beam

We propose a method of hologram recording in a glass plate by corona charging. The holographic recording materials used in this study are conventional soda-lime glass and azobenzene polymer film. A Fourier transform hologram on an azobenzene polymer film coated on the glass plate is recorded in the glass plate by corona charging. After removing the polymer film, the hologram recorded in the plate can be reconstructed using a visible-wavelength laser beam. The first-order diffraction efficiency of the hologram at a wavelength of 532 nm is 0.03%; the efficiency depends on the depth of the surface relief structure on the azobenzene polymer film and the corona-charging time. The hologram recorded in the glass plate has high environmental resistance.     

Choice of geometrical parameters of schemes for recording and reconstructing holograms of small-size particles

The effect of inequality of hologram recording and reconstruction wavelengths on the dimensions of images of microscopic particles reconstructed by using this hologram is considered within the framework of the third-order aberration theory. Recommendations on the choice of geometrical parameters of schemes for hologram recording and reconstruction providing the realization of a given accuracy of particle size measurement are given and substantiated. Limits of admissible variations of these parameters are determined.     

Evaluation of polycarbonate substrate hologram recording medium regarding implication of birefringence and thermal expansion

In this paper, we evaluate photopolymer media using a polycarbonate (PC) substrate. In holographic data storage medium, substrates that sandwich the photopolymer material are needed to protect the photopolymer material against exogenous shock and open air. An optical glass such as BK-7 is normally used as a substrate, but a PC substrate has a cost advantage and is easy to fabricate compared with optical glass. For holographic recording and reading, however, the high birefringence and high thermal expansion of a PC substrate are significant problems. First, we analyze the degree of degradation of output power by the polarization change and estimate the threshold value of birefringence to record hologram normally. Next, we estimate the temperature tolerance of hologram readout with polycarbonate substrate hologram medium. These analyses results indicate the possible usage of the PC substrate as holographic recording media.     

Multiplexed phase-conjugate holographic data storage with a buffer hologram

We describe and demonstrate a volume holographic storage system in which a phase-conjugate object beam is reconstructed by the same reference beam that was used for recording. An intermediate hologram is used as a temporary buffer, recorded with its own reference beam and the data-bearing object beam. Reading this buffer hologram with the phase conjugate of its reference beam reconstructs the phase conjugate of the object beam, which can then be recorded into the desired volume hologram for long-term storage. This method combines the immunity to lens aberrations provided by phase-conjugate readout with the simplicity of using the same multiplexed reference beam for both recording and readout. Only a single pair of phase-conjugate reference beams is required. Experimental results are shown with a single LiNbO(3):Fe crystal used as both buffer and storage holograms and a self-pumped phase-conjugate mirror in BaTiO(3) that provides the pair of phase-conjugate reference beams.

Two-center holographic recording in highly doped LiNbO3 crystals

In this paper, we report the observation of electron tunneling during two-center recording in LiNbO₃:Fe:Mn doped with high Fe concentration. Unlike tunneling in the singly doped lithium niobate that erases the hologram, the effect in two-center recording can improve the diffraction efficiency of the hologram after the recording while it is kept in the dark. A detailed study of this effect in LiNbO₃:Fe:Mn is presented both theoretically and experimentally. We show that the hologram strength may increase or decrease due to tunneling, depending on the experimental condition of recording. PACS 42.40.-i; 42.70.Ln; 42.40.Lx
