Real-time holography in ruthenium-doped bismuth sillenite crystals at 1064 nm

Abstract

Real-time holographic recording and an improvement of the response time in ruthenium (Ru)-doped Bi(12)SiO(20) (BSO) crystal at 1064nm is obtained. Using green light pre-exposure, a significant operation speed of 60ms is achieved. In addition, the ability for image reconstruction is demonstrated in Ru-doped BSO, supporting further applications as reversible media for real-time image processing at the near-IR spectral range.
