Abstract

The dichroism of F A centers in KCl is used to store erasable, high-resolution and high-contrast Bragg-angle holograms. The photochromic system has a bi-directional photo-response, high-writing sensitivity, practically non-destructive low-temperature read-out, and permits good recyclability. The holograms have nearly unlimited lifetime at freezer temperatures.

Abstract

It is shown that the successive application of non-commuting infinitesimal optical polarization transfer matrices introduces terms of a type not necessarily present in the original matrix set. For example, a distorted doubly refracting crystal exhibits an optical activity of second order in the parameter which characterizes the linear birefringence.

Abstract

A closed form steady-state analytic solution properly describing extremely short pulse propagation in a resonant medium is obtained without making the usual slowly varying envelope approximation. Instead, we assume that ( c V − 1) ωτ ⪡ 1 , where V is the pulse speed and τ is the pulse duration. We ignore possible nonresonant loss and set T1 = T2 = ∞
