Real-time holographic baseband frequency demodulator

Appl Opt. 1994 May 10;33(14):2909-16. doi: 10.1364/AO.33.002909.

Abstract

The multiplicative and low-bandpass filtering characteristics of real-time holograms in photorefractive media are used as a basis for a baseband frequency demodulator by means of holographic homodyne detection. We experimentally demonstrate the demodulation of spatial bandpass signals in the kilohertz regime and homodyne detection in the gigahertz regime.
