Reproducial properties of quadric holograms with a standing reference wave

Phase conjugating properties of a quadric hologram with a standing reference wave are grounded and demonstrated. It is shown that the quadratic component of an amplitude response of a nonlinearly recorded hologram provides auto-and heteroassociative image reconstruction in self-conjugation fashion, Error-correcting features of a quadric hologram-based associative reconstruction are discussed, and the possibilities for combining of optical phase conjugation with an image processing (including edge enhancement at the time-inverted associative response) are explicated and demonstrated for the first time.
