Holographic Data Storage Systems

TL;DR: Fundamental issues underlying holographic data storage: grating formation, recording and readout of thick and thin holograms, multiplexing techniques, signal-to-noise ratio considerations, and read out techniques suitable for conventional, phase conjugate, and associative search data retrieval are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical memories implemented with photorefractive media

TL;DR: H holographic optical data storage systems implemented with photorefractive media are considered, including angular, phase-encoded, and wavelength-multiplexing techniques, and several approaches to increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of the recordings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Particle image velocimetry - Status and trends

TL;DR: The main emphasis is on the description of methods of processing the PIV images and on a discussion of the practical limitations of PIV as regards measurable velocities, obtainable accuracy, and spatial resolution.

Trapping of dielectric particles with light-induced space-charge fields

TL;DR: Light-induced space charge fields in lithium niobate crystals are used to trap and manipulate dielectric particles on the surface of such crystals without any external voltage source, strong field gradients are present in the proximity of the crystal surface as discussed by the authors.

Enhanced photorefractive properties of modified Sn2P2S6

TL;DR: In this paper, a significant enhancement of two-beam gain coefficient reached in modified Sn 2 P 2 S 6 photorefractive (PR) crystals was reported using the vapor-transport technique with the modifications including alternate transport agent.

Coupled wave theory for thick hologram gratings

TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled wave analysis of the Bragg diffraction of light by thick hologram gratings is given, analogous to Phariseau's treatment of acoustic gratings and to the dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction.

Interactions between light waves in a nonlinear dielectric

TL;DR: In this paper, the induced nonlinear electric dipole and higher moments in an atomic system, irradiated simultaneously by two or three light waves, are calculated by quantum-mechanical perturbation theory.

Holographic storage in electrooptic crystals. i. steady state

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-linear theory of self-diffraction on the light induced grating of refractive index in electrooptic crystals is developed and the intensities of the diffracted beams, the diffraction efficiency, and the shape of the surfaces of equal index change are calculated analytically for saturation holograms.

High‐voltage bulk photovoltaic effect and the photorefractive process in LiNbO3

TL;DR: An explanation of the photovoltaic effect, based on the asymmetry of the lattice, is proposed in this paper, which accounts for the light-induced index changes in LiNbO3.
