Stabilized recording and thermal fixing of holograms in photorefractive lithium niobate crystals

Abstract: Holograms are thermally fixed in photorefractive lithium niobate crystals, i.e., they are recorded at temperatures between 130 and 180 °C. The setup is actively stabilized during recording against movements or vibrations of the interference pattern which especially occur during long-period writing at enhanced temperatures. Two different techniques are investigated: (1) Interference of the recording beams using one crystal surface as a beamsplitter yields a signal for stabilization. (2) Alternatively, one of th… Show more

“…The recording is stabilized utilizing an active feedback system. 30 From Fig. 6, we can see that a linear dependence of ⌬n s,o on the Mn concentration is still valid even for the highly doped crystal with a Mn concentration of 122 ϫ 10 24 m Ϫ3 .…”

“…This method employs a strong momentary phase modulation of one of the input beams which changes the position of the light fringes. The third important implication of the readout properties is the feedbackcontrolled beam coupling [7][8][9][10]. In this case, the readout characteristics obtained with the help of an auxiliary weak phase modulation are used to adjust the input phase via an electronic feedback loop.…”

“…The first is the low-high-low procedure (L-H-L procedure) or postfixing [8], which enables recording at room temperature, then compensating at high temperature, and finally developing at low temperature. The second is the high-low procedure (H-L procedure) or simultaneous fixing [9], which enables recording and compensating simultaneously at high temperature and finally developing at low temperature.…”
