Hologram recording is studied in thermally reduced, nominally undoped lithium niobate in the time domain from 10 ns to 100 s by means of intense ns pump laser pulses (λ = 532 nm) and continuous-wave probe light (λ = 785 nm). It is shown that mixed absorption and phase gratings can be recorded within 8 ns that feature diffraction efficiencies up to 23 % with non-exponential relaxation and lifetimes in the ms-regime. The results are explained comprehensively in the frame of the optical generation of a spatial density modulation of Nb(Li)(4+/5+) antisites and the related optical features, i.e. absorption as well as index changes mutually related via the Kramers-Kronig-relation. Implications of our findings, such as the electrooptical properties of small bound Nb(Li)(4+) polarons, the optical features of Nb(Li)(4+):Nb(Nb)(4+) bipolarons, Nb(Nb)(4+) free polarons and O-hole-polarons, the impact of light polarization of pump and probe beams as well as of the polaron density are discussed.

This work presents a method for simulating digital lensless holographic microscopy (DLHM) holograms using a physics-based image processing approach. While DLHM has gained significant attention in biology, biomedicine, and environmental monitoring, the current modeling of DLHM holograms has been limited, hindering potential applications, including learning-based solutions and generative model training. In this study, the DLHM propagation process is decomposed into the diffraction of a complex-valued spherical wavefront and the non-homogeneous magnification of the diffracted field that encodes the sample information, which accelerates and enhances the hologram simulation.

Traditional holographic recording of waveguides requires recording angles exceeding the critical angle of the hologram-cladding interface. Achieving these angles necessitates edge-lit exposure using prisms and immersion liquids, which are challenging for roll-to-roll mass production and hinder widespread adoption.

Background: 21st century neurology will require scalable and quantitative tools that can improve neurologic evaluations over telehealth and expand access to care. Commercially available mixed-reality headsets allow for simultaneous presentation of stimuli via holograms projected into the real world and objective and quantitative measurement of hand movement, eye movement, and phonation.
New Method: We created 6 tasks designed to mimic standard neurologic assessments and administered them to a single participant via the Microsoft HoloLens 2 mixed-reality headset.
