A simple, convenient and effective way is demonstrated to reduce the field
losses of the reconstructed image in the dual-wavelength nonvolatile hologr
aphic storage by adding a cylindrical lens in the holographic recording con
figuration. The experimental results show that this technique makes the dua
l-wavelength nonvolatile holographic storage compact and practical. (C) 200
