Dual-channel recording based on the null reconstruction effect of orthogonal linear polarization holography.

We report on dual-channel recording within polarization holography written by orthogonal linear polarization waves. The null reconstruction effect (NRE) of linear polarization holography was experimentally achieved at a large cross-angle of π/2 inside the polarization-sensitive media. Based on the NRE, two polarization encoded holograms were recorded in a dual-channel recording system with negligible inter-channel crosstalk. The two polarization multiplexed holograms could then be sequentially or simultaneously readout by shifting the polarization state of reference wave with the best signal-to-noise of 18:1 obtained within the experiment.
