In this paper the most important properties of lithium niobate crystals for photonic
applications are reviewed. We will summarize how acting on the stoichiometry, sample …

Coherent optical beams are used to communicate, store, and process information in a
growing number of applications. The availability of coherent laser sources is of critical …

Data storage is the conversion of abstract information, representing the data, into physical
changes in an appropriate medium. Data retrieval is the inference of the stored information …

We have developed a new microscopy design that can achieve wide field-of-view (FOV)
imaging and yet possesses resolution that is comparable to a conventional microscope. In …

A volume hologram has two degenerate Bragg-phase-matching dimensions and provides
the capability of volume holographic imaging. We demonstrate two volume holographic …

Optical information processing techniques offer many advantages for data security
applications. Optics offers many degrees of freedom like phase, spatial frequency, and …

A holographic imaging spectrometer, apparatus, and/or method enables the projection of a
two-dimensional (2D) slice (having spectral information) of a four-dimensional (4D) probing …

We compare the system performances of two holographic recording geometries using iron-
doped lithium niobate: the 90-degree and transmission geometry. We find that transmission …

Holographic data storage is a potential next–generation storage technology that offers both
high storage density and fast readout rate. In this article, I discuss the physical origin of these …

We describe a simple way to generate a wide-area high-resolution focus grid by in-line
holography and study the factors that impacts its quality. In our holographic recording setup …
