Abstract

This paper is a survey of properties and applications of holographic optical elements in a photo- thermo-refractive (PTR) glass developed at Vavilov State Optical Institute (St. Petersburg, Russia) and the University of Central Florida. It is a glass in which Bragg gratings (holograms) can be written in the interior (not the surface) of the glass. Novel volume diffractive gratings have been made including exceptionally narrow band transmitting and reflecting elements. This technology is used to make diffractive elements such as spatial filters, attenuators, switches, modulators, beam splitters, beam samplers, beam deflectors, selectors of particular wavelengths (notch filters, add/drop elements), spectral shape formers (gain equalizers), spectral sensors, angular sensors, Bragg spectrometers, transverse and longitudinal mode selectors in a laser resonator, and wavelength tuners and stabilizers for different lasers. © 2009 American Scientific Publishers.
