Limitation on holographic storage in photorefractive waveguides.

چکیده
We show 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.

Hybrid Integrated Optics in Volume Holographic Photopolymer
Traditional planar lightwave circuits fabricated from lithographically-patterned waveguides in glasses, semi-conductors or polymers cannot accommodate the wide range of materials required by typical optical devices. In addition, such waveguides are nearly always defined in the material surface and thus can support only a limited density of interconnects and suffer poor performance at waveguide ...
متن کاملHolographic interconnections in photorefractive waveguides.
An architecture for implementing large scale holographic interconnections in photorefractive waveguides is described. Methods for controlling the hologram using unguided light are considered and experimentally demonstrated.
متن کاملDouble grating formation in anisotropic photorefractive crystals
Double gratings form in anisotropic photorefractive crystals when two plane waves intersecting inside the crystal have both extraordinary and ordinary wave components. The effect can be observed by reading out the two gratings with extraordinary or ordinary light. Experiments confirm the theoretical predictions. The relevance of these results in using photorefractive crystals for holographic st...
متن کاملPhotorefractive recording by a special mechanism in planar LiNbO(3) waveguides.
Recording of holographic gratings in z-cut LiNbO(3) waveguides with extraordinarily (TM) polarized light is demonstrated. In this geometry, photovoltaic currents perpendicular to the guiding layer and the grating vector set up space-charge fields. The mechanism has no equivalent in bulk material.
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...
