Storage and phase conjugation of multiple images using backward-stimulated echoes in Pr3+:LaF3
1Chemical Physics Laboratory, SRI International, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA.
Abstract:
We have observed long-term storage and phase conjugation of multiple images by using a backward-stimulated echo scheme in the 3H4 -3Po transition of Pr3+:LaF3 crystal. The temporal order of the multiple-echo images is the reverse of that of the input images. Each of the echo images is a phase-conjugate replica of the input images and lasts as long as IS sec. This constitutes, in principle, the movie using a stimulated photon echo.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
