Thermal fixing of 10,000 Holograms in LiNbO3:Fe.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss thermal fixing as a solution to the volatility problem in holographic storage systems that use photorefractive materials such as LiNbO(3):Fe. We present a systematic study to characterize the effect of thermal fixing on the error performance of a large-scale holographic memory. We introduce a novel, to our knowledge, incremental fixing schedule to improve the overall system fixing efficiency. We thermally fixed 10,000 holograms in a 90 degrees -geometry setup by using this new schedule. All the fixed holograms were retrieved with no errors.

Temperature dependence of absorption in photorefractive iron-doped lithium niobate crystals
We present experimental data showing a significant dependence of light absorption on temperature in photorefractive LiNbO3 :Fe crystals. The results are successfully explained by assuming that the widths of the Fe absorption bands in the visible and in the infrared spectral region depend on temperature. The findings are of relevance for thermal fixing of holograms. Furthermore, a temperature-in...
متن کاملIonic and electronic dark decay of holograms in LiNbO3:Fe crystals
The lifetimes of nonfixed holograms in LiNbO3:Fe crystals with doping levels of 0.05, 0.138, and 0.25 wt % Fe2O3 have been measured in the temperature range from 30 to 180 °C. The time constants of the dark decay of holograms stored in crystals with doping levels of 0.05 and 0.25 wt % Fe2O3 obey an Arrhenius-type dependence on absolute temperature T, but yield two activation energies: 1.0 and 0...
متن کاملHolographic properties of doubly doped lithium niobate crystals with Indium
The holographic properties of doubly doped lithium niobate crystals with Indium have been investigated. It is found that doping slight Indium concentration (0.5mol%) in LiNbO3:In, Fe crystal can efficiently increase the sensitivity with small dynamic range changing. To improve the whole holographic properties of LiNbO3 crystal, LiNbO3:In, Fe with ideal doping concentrations and a new photorefra...
متن کاملThe role of carrier mobility in holographic recording in LiNbO3
We investigate the role of carrier mobility in holographic recording in LiNbO3 crystals. Both normal holographic recording (single wavelength, single trap) and twocenter recording are considered, and the differences between the performances of the two methods are explained. We show that increasing mobility by using stoichiometric crystals or by doping with Mg does not improve sensitivity consid...
متن کاملElectrical fixing of photorefractive holograms in Sro . 7 5 Bao . 25 Nb 2 O 6
Volume holograms recorded in photorefractive materials can find important applications in optical memories and optical computing systems. One problem with a photorefractive hologram is that it gets erased by the readout light. Nondestructive readout can be achieved by hologram fixing, and several fixing methods have been reported. Thermal fixing of holograms was demonstrated in LiNbO3,' Bi1 2Si...
