Observation of erasable holographic gratings at room temperature in Eu/sup 3 +/-doped glasses

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7041079
The characteristics of four wave-mixing signals were studied in Eu/sup 3 +/-doped glasses. When the Eu/sup 3 +/ions were resonantly excited, two types of laser-induced grating were formed: a transient population grating associated with the excited Eu3+ions and a holographic grating, which was permanent at room temperature but could be erased either thermally or optically.
