Resonant Holography
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method of enhancing the diffraction efficiency of a hologram by placing it inside a resonant optical cavity. The diffraction efficiency improves on account of the multiple passes that the incident light undergoes inside the optical cavity. The resonance condition in this case turns out to involve both mirror reflectivity and the optical path length inside the cavity. Experimental results for a resonantly enhanced angle-multiplexed holographic memory and an optical three-port element are shown.

Resonant third-order hyperpolarizabilities of large organic molecules
Third-order nonlinear optical processes have attracted considerable interest recently because of their potential applications in optical phase conjugation, optical computing, and dynamic holography and their power as a spectroscopic tool.' Many of the studies, however, deal with inorganic semiconductors, photorefractive materials, and atomic vapors.2 The main research on organic materials in th...
متن کاملDiffraction-contrast imaging of cold atoms
We consider the inverse problem of in-line holography, applied to minimally destructive imaging of cold atom clouds. Absorption imaging near resonance provides a simple, but destructive measurement of atom column density. Imaging off resonance greatly reduces heating, and sequential images may be taken. Under the conditions required for off-resonant imaging, the generally intractable inverse pr...
متن کاملPolarization effects in coherent scattering from magnetic specimen: Implications for x-ray holography, lensless imaging, and correlation spectroscopy
We present resonant coherent small-angle scattering from sub-mm magnetic domains in an in-line holography geometry. By varying the polarization of the incident soft x rays the interference between the reference wave propagating from a pinhole and scattered object wave can be switched ‘‘on’’ or ‘‘off.’’ The referenceobject interference contribution in the scattering can be isolated by combining ...
متن کاملNanometric holograms based on a topological insulator material
Holography has extremely extensive applications in conventional optical instruments spanning optical microscopy and imaging, three-dimensional displays and metrology. To integrate holography with modern low-dimensional electronic devices, holograms need to be thinned to a nanometric scale. However, to keep a pronounced phase shift modulation, the thickness of holograms has been generally limite...
متن کاملAdaptive Holography in Liquid Crystal Light-Valves
By performing two-wave mixing experiments in a liquid crystal light-valve, optical beam amplification is obtained as a strongly resonant process to which a narrow frequency bandwidth is associated. This property is exploited to realize adaptive holographic interferometric systems able to efficiently detect displacements as small as fraction of picometers. Pressure radiation induced deformations...
