Power requirements and resolution of real-time holograms in saturable absorbers and absorbing liquids.
Diffraction gratings have been induced in absorbing liquids and saturable glasses with a ruby laser. The mechanism for the production of the gratings has been discussed. The diffraction efficiency and the resolving power of the materials has been measured and found to agree with calculations based on the models of a thermal phase grating and a grating produced by saturable absorption.
