Materials for Volume Phase Holography.

Abstract

This report describes work on single-crystal LiNbO3:Fe for volume holographic information storage. The purpose was to determine if increased rates of fixing of holograms could be obtained by codoping the crystals with Si. The conclusion is that the addition of Si to the crystal may indeed increase the fixing rate. However, large amounts of Si are required to produce the effect, and under these conditions it appears that it will be extremely difficult to obtain higher crystal quality. The authors believe that the material of choice for high density read-only information storage is LiNbO3 single-doped with Fe. Up to 1000 high resolution holograms can be stored in a 6-cc crystal.
