Collinear volumetric magnetic holography with magnetophotonic microcavities
Abstract:
Hologram memory is a candidate for high-capacity data storage. Magnetic holograms formed as magnetization directions have been studied to realize rewritable hologram media. Recently, we reported that the magnetophotonic microcavity (MPM) can improve diffraction efficiency because of enhanced Faraday rotation angle and deep hologram writing. In this study, we demonstrated a clear reconstructed image from magnetic holograms in an MPM medium. The structural condition of MPMs for high diffraction efficiency was investigated, and the MPM medium was actually fabricated. The image reconstructed from the MPM medium had approximately twice the brightness of that reconstructed using a monolayer film.

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...
