Distortion-free multiplexed holography in striated photorefractive media

A Aharoni, MC Bashaw, L Hesselink - Applied optics, 1993 - opg.optica.org
Growth-induced striations in photorefractive media constitute phase gratings that scatter
transmitted light and therefore degrade the quality of reconstructed images in holographic …

Alleviation of image distortion due to striations in a photorefractive medium by using a phase-conjugated reference wave

MC Bashaw, A Aharoni, L Hesselink - Optics letters, 1992 - opg.optica.org
Growth-induced striations in photorefractive media scatter transmitted light, degrading their
