Frequency-double tunable Yb:YAG microchip laser for holographic volume memories

Summary form only given. Holographic volume memories have provoked a great deal of controversy. Angle and wavelength-multiplexed recordings have excellent potential for a large storage capacity. However, large cumbersome light sources prevent the research of holographic data storage systems. Lately, we have developed diode-pumped single-frequency and tunable Yb:YAG microchip laser. In this work, we have demonstrated multiplex recording by using an intracavity frequency doubled Yb:YAG green laser.
