Review and prospect of polarization holography

Holography is a very promising technique which records rich information on small holograms by interfering with signal light and reference light. Unlike conventional holography, polarized holography not only records the phase and amplitude information of light waves, but also records additional polarization information in polarized state sensitive materials. In this paper, the production process of polarized holography is introduced in detail based on polarized holographic materials. At the same time, the principle and research progress of polarization holography based on Jones theory and tensor theory are introduced respectively. Finally, the development prospect of polarized holography in holographic storage and nanometer optics is described. In addition, the principle and research progress of polarization holography based on Jones matrix and tensor theory are introduced respectively. Finally, the development prospect of polarized holography in holographic storage and nanometer optics is discussed.
