This paper describes a new class of recording materials for volume holographic applications suitable to meet commercial manufacturing needs. These next-generation holographic photopolymers have the ability to satisfy the unmet demand for color and depth tuning that is only possible with volume holograms. Unlike earlier holographic photopolymers, these new materials offer the advantages of no ch...

Basic holographic characteristics of a newly developed panchromatic ultrafine grain silver halide light sensitive material for RGB recording of reflective holographic screen for autostereoscopic 3D display are presented. The average grain size is less than 10 nm which ensures high resolution, diffraction efficiency, and signal-to-noise ratio (more than 100 : 1) in a large dynamic range for RGB ...

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 vibratio...

We present a new lensless incoherent holographic system operating in a synthetic aperture mode. Spatial resolution exceeding the Rayleigh limit of the system is obtained by tiling digitally several Fresnel holographic elements into a complete Fresnel hologram of the observed object. Each element is acquired by the limited-aperture system from different point of view. This method is demonstrated...

In this article we review recent progress on the holographic modelling of field theories with Lifshitz symmetry. We focus in particular on the holographic dictionary for Lifshitz backgrounds the relationship between bulk fields and boundary operators, operator correlation functions and underlying geometrical structure. The holographic dictionary is essential in identifying the universality clas...

We discuss the Penrose limit of pure AdS space, which is flat Minkowski space. Even though there is no holographic principle, we construct a " holographic screen " on which information on the corresponding CFT is encoded. The screen is obtained as a gauge-fixing condition upon restricting the Hilbert space to the states that are annihilated by the generator of scale transformations. This constr...

Optical scanning holography is a real-time holographic recording technique in which holographic information about a three-dimensional 3D object is acquired using a single two-dimensional active optical scan. Applications of the technique include optical scanning microscopy, pattern recognition, 3D holographic display, and optical remote sensing. This paper introduces the basics of optical scann...

We study baryons and baryonic matter in holographic QCD with D4/D8/D8 multi-D brane system. In large-Nc holographic QCD, the baryon appears as a topologically nontrivial chiral soliton, which is called “brane-induced Skyrmion”. We also analyze the features of the baryonic matter in holographic QCD by investigating the system of single braneinduced Skyrmion on a three-dimensional closed manifold...

A 2×2 high contrast ratio optical switch composed of holographic optical switching elements is presented. This switch consists of two electro-optic halfwave plates, four layers of holographic gratings, two dielectric substrates, and one spacer. The contrast ratio can be higher than 54 dB. The contrast ratio improvement of this device is the same as a dilated optical switch. Key-words: Holograph...
