Abstract: A multi-frequency light source is disclosed. In one disclosed aspect, the light source may comprise a gain region defined by a first and second mirror. The gain region may have corresponding resonant modes. An external cavity defined by a third mirror and said second mirror is also provided, with the external cavity having a plurality of resonant modes. The second mirror may be terminated with a layer of high reflectivity. In a further aspect, the second mirror may be terminated with an antiphase layer.
Abstract: A digital electronic camera includes a holographic medium, an imaging array disposed at a focal plane for converting optical information to digital information; and an optical system configured to store the digital information onto the holographic medium. An optical system for retrieving images stored in the medium may be provided inside the camera or as a separate appliance.
