Development of multicolor-holographic flip-books systems using lithium-niobate crystals

Abstract

A multicolor holographic flip-books system is presented, in which angle-multiplexed image plane holograms are recorded using an Fe-doped LiNbO3 (LN) crystal as recording media with a 532-nm green laser. A 633-nm red He-Ne laser, the 532-nm green laser, and a 432-nm blue diode laser were used to illuminate the recorded holograms. Multicolor flip-books are obtained when the LN crystal was slowly rotated. Bragg mismatching from the use of three wavelengths is compensated by changing the reconstructing angles.
