Recording and Retrieving of Angular Multiplexed Near-field Holograms

We present our experimental results on the recording and retrieving of multiplexed near-field holograms using near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) and a conventional rectangular-parallelepiped or cubic photorefractive crystal. Experimental results show that we can get the angular selectivity comparable with that of the volume hologram and the retrieved spot size was smaller than the Rayleigh's limit. The results also show that the angular selectivity and the retrieved spot size are strongly dependent on the recording distance between the object and the recording medium.
