Permanently Fixed Volume Phase Gratings in Ferroelectrics

  • Chapter
Photorefractive Effects and Materials

Part of the book series: Electronic Materials: Science and Technology ((EMST))

Abstract

Volume phase holograms have been stored in a wide range of materials: silver halide photographic emulsions, dichromated gelatin films, glass, photorefractive polymers, organic materials and ferroelectric crystals. Each of these materials poses a unique set of technological problems when recording optical interference patterns as permanent index gratings. In this chapter we focus on hologram recording in ferroelectric oxide crystals, such as LiNbO3 and SrxBa1−xNb206 (SBN:x). When these materials are doped to optimize their photorefractive properties, optical interference patterns redistribute charge among traps and generate local electronic space-charge fields which are replicas of the optical interference patterns (but generally shifted in phase and spatially distorted). An index change arises from the spatially modulated space-charge field. The complex microscopic details of this process are included within a measured linear electrooptic tensor r ijk which relates the index change to the dc electric field in the non-centrosymmetric phase. Because these index gratings are electronic in origin, they are bleached by the same optical field that reconstructs them. This dynamic property is extremely useful for real time holography applications; however, for applications such as holographic data storage, permanent index gratings are desirable.
