Abstract: The invention concerns an optical device comprising an optical source for emitting a light beam in a plurality of emitting wavelengths and at least one laser, each of said at least one laser including a holographic medium (MH), means for injecting (FO, MCS, MUX, CO, IO, AV) said light beam derived from said optical source into said at least one laser, said holographic medium (MH) being adapted to generate a laser in at least one oscillation mode, said at least one oscillation mode being determined by at least one excitation wavelength among the plurality of emitting wavelengths. The invention is characterized in that said optical source comprises a light source emitting simultaneously in said plurality of emitting wavelengths.

Abstract: The invention concerns the field of holographic storage units. More particularly, the invention concerns the field of holographic storage units used for bit-by-bit storage of information. It concerns a method for reading data recorded in a holographic material in the form of a hologram obtained by interference of two beams of substantially the same wavelength, and using at least one reflecting layer. The invention is characterized in that it includes the following steps: emitting a light comprising at least said wavelength at said holographic material comprising said hologram; performing a homodyne detection between the signal resulting from the first light diffracted by said hologram and at least one signal selected between the reflected signal and the signal transmitted by said at least one reflecting layer.

Abstract: A process for generating a carrier in an interferogram in interferometry device either of the “real-time holographic interferometry” type or of the “double-exposure holographic interferometry” type, including recording a first wave front on a hologram, the first wave front coming from an object; generating a second wave front, in which two wave fronts are superimposed orthogonally polarizing said first and second wave fronts, either naturally or by a modification stage; and passing the orthogonally polarized two wave fronts through a birefringent crystal, a polarizer and a detector to make the two wave fronts interfere.
