Abstract

Induced liquid crystal gratings using an azo-polymer as an alignment layer in the cell provide an interesting possibility for storing information. Here a polarization grating and azobenzene reorientation are exploited to enhance the gain effect and the stability of the diffraction efficiency by manipulating the pump beams. The Figure juxtaposes an original image and its holographic reconstruction using the described procedure.
