We consider holographic optical data storage systems implemented with photorefractive
media. Our viewpoint emphasizes the close interaction between materials and device …

A theory of time-dependent nonlinear dispersive equations of the Schrödinger or Gross-
Pitaevskii and Hartree type is developed. The short, intermediate and large time behavior is …

A method of producing holograms of three-dimensional (3D) optical pulses is proposed. It is
shown that both the amplitude and the phase profile of 3D optical pulse can be stored in …

Optical phase conjugation by four-wave mixing in a Kerr medium is considered. Two strong
counterpropagating lasers pump a nonlinear medium in which they excite the third-order …

For the first time to our knowledge, self-pumped phase conjugation is reported in a planar
waveguide structure in a BaTiO_3 single crystal. The waveguide was fabricated by the …

We describe the reconstruction of stored images in a-axis single-crystal fibers of Ce-doped
strontium barium niobate. We introduce a new architecture for replay with a phase …

Single-crystal fibers of strontium barium niobate grown by the laser-heated pedestal
technique are particularly attractive for holographic optical processing. 1-1 C-axis fibers of Sr …
