Optical-limiting devices and materials may be used to protect U.S. military personnel and equipment from laser radiation damage. Many who consider doing research in this area are not familiar with the U.S. military unclassified requirements for materials or devices that would be fielded. This report attempts to set general guidelines for researchers in the field.
An innovative technique for generating a three dimensional holographic display using strontium barium niobate (SBN) is discussed. The resultant image is a hologram that can be viewed in real time over a wide perspective or field of view (FOV). The holographic image is free from system- induced aberrations and has a uniform, high quality over the entire FOV. The enhanced image quality results from using a phase conjugate read beam ...
