Compensation for pixel-mismatch errors in shift-multiplexed holographic data storage.

To read out correct data from shift-multiplexed holographic data storage, we propose a novel method of pixel matching by use of a tiny plane-parallel refraction plate placed in the path of converging readout beams. Tilting the refraction plate produces a shift in the lateral position of the readout beam incident upon the holographic storage disk, leading to compensation for pixel-mismatch errors by an improvement in bit-error rate of 3 orders of magnitude.

Arbitrary structuring of two-dimensional photonic crystals by use of phase-only Fourier gratings.

The computer-generated holography technique is applied to the structuring of two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals with inherently embedded arbitrary defects. The technique uses phase-only Fourier gratings as a generator of spot arrays in the focal plane, such that a single exposure produces a 2D array of focused spots with desired defects or modifications in the lattice structure. We demonstrate several types of large-area 2D lattice structures with square, hexagonal, or hybrid lattices embedded with point and (or) line defects. Scanning the Fourier plane in the depth direction throughout multiphoton polymerization media allows 3D lattices with stacked defect layers to be formed.

Resonant coupling of surface plasmons to radiation modes by use of dielectric gratings.

Efficient outcoupling of surface-plasma waves to radiation modes by use of dielectric diffraction gratings on a flat metallic surface is discussed. The dielectric gratings, which have a surface-relief structure with only several tens of nanometers in peak-to-trough height on a flat metal surface, can efficiently extract radiation modes propagating in free space from the surface-plasmon modes. An outcoupling efficiency of 50% is estimated with the rigorous coupled-wave diffraction theory, and it is confirmed by the experiment.
