Transient energy coupling between two coherent beams occurs in dynamic holographic media with local and noninstantaneous responses. The physical origin of the effect is described, and an optical tracking filter based on the effect is demonstrated in a photorefractive Bi12SiO20 crystal.
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.
