Holographic recording on a real-time basis of two-dimensional images in an iron-doped lithium niobate fiber with a 200 μm diameter and 3 mm length is demonstrated for the first time. The erasure time constant as a function of readout beam power, the diffraction efficiency as a function of incident reference angle, and the results of angular-multiple recording of two images are shown. These results suggest that the LN fiber could replace bulk materials for holographic recordings in optical parallel processing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
