RECORDING OF 6000 HOLOGRAMS BY USE OF SPECTRAL HOLE-BURNING

Experiments verifying a new method of storing spectral hole-burning ho lograms, which yields reduced cross talk as compared with standard spe ctral hole-burning holograms, have been conducted. Results demonstrati ng the reduced width of this type of hologram in both frequency and th e applied electric-held dimension are presented. Analytic solutions fo r the spectral width and diffraction efficiency of these holograms are presented. Using this exposure technique, we have recorded 6000 holog rams in a single spectral hole-burning sample.
