Abstract
The Fourier transform hologram is a useful configuration for holographic storage. In this arrangement the most useful components of the frequency spectrum can be formed into a relatively compact object beam. This increases the information density and allows more effective use of the recording material. Another benefit is that Fourier transform holograms are less sensitive to misalignment and to imperfections in the recording material and optical system. However, when the object field has regular or periodic components the spectrum will contain a series of high-intensity peaks [1].
