Writing, Reading and Phase Matching Conditions For EIG Diffraction
Figure 1 shows a possible beam configuration to write and read an EIG. The period of the grating is controlled by the angle . The writing and reading frequencies are not necessarily the same. E_B is referred as the "backward" reading beam and ER is the signal obtained by diffraction on the grating.
The phase-matching conditions for the EIG for the plane-wave approximation is given by the simple geometric relation:
,
where the angles are given according to Fig. 2, and are the frequencies of the writing (W, W') and reading beam (R), respectively, and n is the effective index of refraction of the medium.

Famous quotes containing the words reading, phase and/or conditions:
“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant? We should live in all the ages of the world in an hour; ay, in all the worlds of the ages. History, Poetry, Mythology!—I know of no reading of another’s experience so startling and informing as this would be.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The Indians feel that each stage is crucial and that the child should be allowed to dwell in each for the appropriate period of time so that every aspect of his being can evolve, just as a plant evolves in the proper time and sequence of the seasons. Otherwise, the child never has a chance to master himself in any one phase of his life.”
—Alan Quetone (20th century)
“When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law?”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
