Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since its first discovery by Dennis Gabor in 1948, holography has evolved into a remarkably versatile technology. It has a wide range of applications in different fields, such as image processing, communications, medicine, the enhancement of energy efficiency, virtual reality, data storage, digital art, and security, among others. Furthermore, the development of novel recording materials with improved capabilities and the application of spatial light modulators offer new and exciting possibilities.
This Special Issue aims to present innovative research in the field of holography and recent developments in holographic applications, techniques, and recording materials.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Holographic optical elements
- Holographic recording materials

Title: Holographic Multi-Notch Filters Recorded with Simultaneous Double-Exposure Contact Mirror-Based Method

Abstract: This study presents a novel simultaneous double-exposure contact mirror-based method for fabricating holographic multi-notch filters with dual operational central wavelengths. The proposed method leverages coupled wave theory, the geometric relationships of K-vectors, and a reflection-type recording setup, incorporating additional reflecting mirrors to guide the recording beams. To validate the approach, a holographic notch filter was fabricated using photopolymer recording materials, resulting in operational wavelengths of 531.13 nm and 633.01 nm, with evaluated diffraction efficiencies predicted to exceed 90% when the emulsion thickness surpasses 32 µm. The component's performance was analyzed using polarized spectral transmission intensities at various reconstruction angles, revealing polarization-independent characteristics under normal incidence and polarization-dependent behavior under oblique incidence. The study also explored the relationships between recording parameters, such as incident angle, wavelength, emulsion expansion, and dispersion. The findings demonstrate that the first operational central wavelength is primarily influenced by the recording wavelength, while the second is primarily determined by the incident angle, covering a range from visible light to near-infrared. This method offers significant potential for cost-effective, mass-produced filters in optoelectronic applications.
