Abstract

Polarization multiplexing of holograms in azobenzene polymers has been investigated. The optimal conditions for multiplexing two holograms with teh same spatial frequency in the same volume of the polymer and the same linear polarization of the reference wave have been found. The first hologram is inscribed with two p-polarized waves and the second-with p-polarized reference wave and s-polarized subject wave. The two images can be read simultaneously or separately using a linear analyzer or a polarization beam splitter.
