Polarization-holographic reversal of the front of a reconstructed wave

Transformation of optical vortices by polarization dynamic holograms

“…As this takes place, the spatial variable state of total field polarization causes the appearance of spatial modula tion of photoanisotropy and/or photogyrotropy in the medium [2][3][4]. The passage to the polarization recording of holograms permits one to control for dif fracted radiation polarization, which can be used, e.g., in laser radiation correction systems with a complex polarization distribution over the wavefront [5], as well as to obtain information about the structure and aniso tropic properties of the medium, which has promising applications in systems of polarization optical mem ory [6].…”
