We present an analytical model of the dynamics of spatial harmonics of holographic grating profiles, taking into consideration record mechanisms (polymerization and components diffusion), absorption, interference pattern ...
The nonlocal diffusion model proposed by Sheridan and coworkers has provided a useful interpretation of the nature of grating
formation inside photopolymer materials. This model accounts for some important experimental ...
Modeling the propagation of light through free space and simple paraxial systems
continue to be enduring, and practically important topics in optics. Is there anything new or interesting that remains to be said? Given the ...
For the first time to our knowledge, a detailed theoretical basis is provided for the well-known inverse-square scaling law of holographic diffraction, which states that replay diffraction efficiency η=Γ/M2, where M is the ...
The product of the spatial and spatial frequency extents of a wave field has proven useful in the analysis of the sampling requirements of numerical simulations. We propose that the ratio of these quantities is also ...
The boundary diffraction method (BDM) is an approximate method that permits the derivation of analytic solutions for the output beams, both forward and backward propagating, that arise from the fundamental nature of ...
Photopolymer materials are practical materials for use as holographic recording media. To further develop such materials, a deeper understanding of the photochemical mechanisms present during the formation of holographic ...
Photopolymers act as drivers and enabler of fabrication technologies for applications
including refractive/diffractive optical elements, hybrid 3D optoelectronic circuitry, data storage recoding media and self-trapping. ...
The formation of holograms is interpreted as the consequence of the bilinearity of the ambiguity function. Reconstruction can then be regarded as the manipulation of the ambiguity function. Specifically, we show
that in ...
There are many types of holographic recording material. The acrylamide-based recording material examined here has one significant
advantage: it is self-processing. This simplifies the recording process and enables holographic ...
