Holographic conversion of optical modes
Y Miyamoto

Abstract

Holography is an important method in generating and detecting spatial optical modes with rotational symmetry. This paper gives a review of some of the considerations in using these techniques as well as our contributions in this field, including issues related to holograms designed to modify only phase, detection of superpositions and its use in demonstrating spatial mode entanglement. © Anita Publications.
