Abstract

The mechanisms of recording and decay of holographic gratings in CdF2 crystals with bistable gallium or indium centers are considered. The analysis of the decay kinetics allows one to determine potentialities and conditions for using these crystals both for static recording of holograms and for holography in real time. This time scale is fairly broad and covers the time range from 1 s to 10 μs or shorter. Energy characteristics of the bistable centers, namely, the binding energies of the deep and shallow levels and heights of the barriers between them, are refined.
