Multiple storage and erasure of fixed holograms in Fe−doped LiNbO3

Holograms were recorded and fixed simultaneously in heated (∼160°C) crystals of Fe−doped LiNbO3. With this procedure the crystals have the erase/write asymmetry required for multiple storage of high−diffraction−efficiency holograms. Five hundred fixed holograms, each with more than 2.5% diffraction efficiency, were recorded.
