Abstract

We present a new method with which to implement shift multiplexing by planar waveguide referencing. In this method, a planar waveguide is used to steer the reference beam, and we implement shift multiplexing by shifting the recording medium. A spatial selectivity as high as $1.1\mu \mathrm{m}$ is obtained. By using waveguide referencing we can make a compact and simple holographic system.
