| Abstract: | The two-lambda method can provide a strategic approach to implement all-optical devices for communication wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) signal processing based on volume holography. By writing holograms at 488 nm in LiNbO/sub 3/:Fe and reading them in the third window of optical communication systems (1550 nm), the feasibility of WDM demultiplexers and holographic memories for digital bytes is here demonstrated. |
