Abstract
Holography is probably best known for its application in 3-D displays. The unique ability of holography to record and reproduce the amplitude and phase of optical wavefronts has also been used for storage, processing, communication, and sensing of information. In this tutorial will focus primarily on the application of holography in information systems with emphasis on devices for telecommunications. The primary use of holography in telecommunications has been for the recording of gratings in fibers, waveguides and bulk media. We will review some of these devices and discuss how the properties of the holographic recording medium determines device performance.
