چکیده
The study of volume gratings has led to useful applications in many areas of optics, including integrated optics, acousto-optics, and holography. In most situations the coupled-mode analysis of volume holograms established by Kogelnik1 accurately describes the diffraction behavior of a thick hologram and predicts a diffraction efficiency that is a periodic function of the index perturbation amplitude-thickness product. The diffraction efficiency X from a volume index grating with the direction of the readout beam tuned for the Bragg condition is given by

Diffraction efficiency of localized holograms in doubly doped LiNbO(3) crystals.
The diffraction efficiency of M holograms superimposed in the volume of the recording medium is proportional to 1/M(2). We present a method, based on nondestructive localized holograms in a doubly doped LiNbO(3) crystal, that allows us to also record M holograms in the same volume without an exposure schedule or a diffraction efficiency that has 1/M dependence. We compare experimentally the fin...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of mixed gratings with a phase difference between the phase and amplitude grating in volume holograms.
The Coupled Wave Theory of Kogelnik has given a wellestablished basis for the comprehension of how light propagates inside a hologram. This theory gives an accurate approximation for the diffraction efficiency of volume phase holograms and volume absorption holograms as well. Mixed holograms (phase and absorption) have been also treated from the point of view of this theory. For instance, Guibe...
متن کاملNoise gratings in bleached silver halide diffuse-object holograms.
Noise gratings in diffuse-object holograms recorded as volume phase holograms in bleached silver halide emulsion are experimentally analyzed. Measurements of the diffraction efficiency and the noise of the holograms are taken. The experimental results obtained show that there is a drop not only in the diffraction efficiency but also in the noise that is due to the presence of noise gratings.
متن کاملDiffuse-object holograms in silver halide emulsions: influence of the beam ratio on the efficiency and the signal-to-noise ratio.
The influence of the beam ratio between reference and object beam intensities on the characteristics of diffuse-object holograms recorded as volume phase holograms in bleached silver halide emulsion is experimentally analyzed. Measurements of the diffraction efficiency and the signal-to-noise ratio of the holograms are taken. The experimental results presented show that when the beam ratio incr...
متن کاملOptical restoration of photorefractive holograms through self-enhanced diffraction.
For the first time to our knowledge, we demonstrate the use of self-enhanced diffraction to optically restore weak dynamic volume holograms. This restoration process is achieved through the use of a novel beam-toggling scheme that significantly enhances the steady-state diffraction efficiency of volume index gratings stored in photorefractive media. Experiments demonstrating and confirming theo...
