Multiplexed storage of permanent and real time holograms in photorefractive bismuth silicon oxide for use in image processing and spatial light modulation
Multiplexed storage of permanent and real time holograms in photorefractive bismuth silicon oxide for use in image processing and spatial light modulation
We present a technique for storing holograms in crystals of bismuth silicon oxide (BSO) that combines reversible photochromic effects with the more usual real time photorefractive characteristics. Photochromic effects have been observed before in these sillenite crystals but have generally been considered a problem rather than a possible mechanism for holographic storage. As the normal photorefractive (PR) behavior is unaffected, however, simultaneous spatial multiplexing of both photorefractive (real time) and photochromic (permanent) holograms is possible in the same crystal volume.

Abstract
We present a technique for storing holograms in crystals of bismuth silicon oxide (BSO) that combines reversible photochromic effects with the more usual real time photorefractive characteristics. Photochromic effects have been observed before in these sillenite crystals but have generally been considered a problem rather than a possible mechanism for holographic storage. As the normal photorefractive (PR) behavior is unaffected, however, simultaneous spatial multiplexing of both photorefractive (real time) and photochromic (permanent) holograms is possible in the same crystal volume.
