Holographic interferometers based on photorefractive crystals for vibration measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photorefractive crystals offer many advantages over other classical holographic recording media. They allow fast in-situ processable holographic recording as well as indefinite reusability. Moreover high signal-to-noise ratio can be reached as well as high resolutions. We present several types of holographic instruments using such materials. Here we will emphasize their applications in vibration measurements. A first one is based on the classical stroboscopic technique, a second one uses a pulsed laser.

Phase control strategies for stabilization of photorefractive holographic interferometer
A current problem encountered in holographic interferometry systems is the phase variations that arise from vibrations, from the use of optical fiber in one arm, by air convection or by unwanted movement between the object and the measurement device. The holographic device developed by CSL based on photorefractive BSO crystals has the advantage of high resolution fringes with the capability of ...

We present the achievement of the european PHIFE project (Pulsed Holographic Interferometer for the analysis of Fast Events) concerning the development of holographic head principles connected to a YAG Q-switch double pulsed laser. Based on the results of a first laboratory development phase, a final prototype has been designed and built that incorporates both the laser and a modular holographi...

Two-wave mixing (TWM) via a dynamic hologram recorded in a photorefractive crystal allows the implementation of adaptive interferometers. These interferometers can achieve high sensitivity of detection of phase shifts under unstable environmental conditions even when phase shifts are encrypted in speckled waves such as those reflected from rough surfaces or emerging from multimode optical fiber...
متن کاملElectrically switchable cylindrical Fresnel lens based on holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals using a Michelson interferometer
Fabricating an electrically switchable cylindrical Fresnel lens based on holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (H-PDLC) using a Michelson interferometer is reported. Simplicity of the method and possibility of fabricating different focal length lenses in a single set up are among the advantages of the method. It is demonstrated that the Fresnel structured zone plate acts as a cylindrica...
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...
