Journal ArticleDOI
Nondiffracting images under coherent illumination.
TL;DR: A general method that takes advantage of a detector’s (possibly nonlinear) response to incident intensity to extend the focal depth of an arbitrary image by optimization of the amplitude and phase distributions over the entire image.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Photorefractive Crystals As Optical Devices, Elements, And Processors
Jeffrey O. White,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of optical applications of the photorefractive effect can be found in this article, where the authors describe the use of photore-fractive crystals as holographic storage elements, optical image amplifiers, phase conjugate mirrors, correction elements for intracavity laser distortions, and coherent image processors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced silicon processing for active planar photonic devices
Michael Shearn,Kenneth Diest,Xiankai Sun,Avi Zadok,Harry A. Atwater,Amnon Yariv,Axel Scherer +6 more
TL;DR: Using high quality, anisotropically etched Si waveguides bonded to InGaAsP, the authors demonstrate a hybrid laser, whose optical profile overlaps both Si and III-V regions as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limitation on holographic storage in photorefractive waveguides
TL;DR: It is shown that photorefractive waveguide devices are subject to a limitation on their holographic storage capability owing to transversely nonuniform nonlinear losses to evanescent and radiation modes.
