Holographic fixing, readout, and storage dynamics in photorefractive materials.

چکیده
Holographic gratings in photorefractive crystals that are based on charge redistribution inevitably decay as a result of ionic and electronic conduction. Under certain and restricted conditions these decay times can be acceptably long. Relevant decay rates and transient hologram field expressions are derived with special reference to LiNbO(3). Some experimental data are presented.

Holographic storage dynamics in lithium niobate: theory and experiment
We present a theoretical model that describes holographic ionic fixing and storage dynamics in photorefractive crystals. Holographic gratings that are based on charge redistribution inevitably decay because of ionic and electronic conduction. Relevant decay rates and transient hologram field expressions are derived. Ionic gratings are partially screened by trapped electrons on readout. The life...
متن کاملProgress in read–write fast–access volume holographic data storage
We review recent progress made towards commercializable read–write, fast–access holographic data storage. This includes a recent demonstration of high areal density holographic storage [1], systems architectures for extending this high density to high capacity using phase–conjugate readout [2], and recent experimental progress along these lines. Other topics include using signal processing to r...
متن کاملThermal fixing of 10,000 Holograms in LiNbO3:Fe.
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 ef...
متن کاملNonvolatile Hologram Storage in BaTiO 3
A key obstacle to the development of high-capacity three-dimensional information mass storage systems using photorefractive crystals is that readout of holograms stored in the conventional manner is destructive. Thus hologram fixing in these materials is important if practical systems are to be built. High-temperature (801200C) photorefractive grating writing results for a variety of pure and d...
متن کاملDark decay of holograms in photorefractive polymers
The decay of holograms stored in photorefractive polymer composites based on poly~N-vinyl-carbazole! with and without extrinsic deep traps is investigated. The photorefractive phase shift is identified as one of the key parameters determining the dark decay dynamics. This has important implications for all kinds of photorefractive imaging applications including holographic data storage. A trade...
