Abstract
Holographic storage offers many advantages over conventional storage methods, however, readout of information cannot be made non-destructive without special fixing procedures, such as thermal and electrical fixing. Several other techniques enabling non-destructive readout of information have been investigated, including two-photon recording in singe species crystals[1], and sensitizing with a short wavelength and recording and reading with a long wavelength with two species[2,3]. The last method has the advantage of allowing each species to be chosen, so that the photorefractive properties can be optimized while retaining the information during readout.
