Abstract
Summary form only given. Electroholography (EH) is a wavelength selective optical switching method based on governing of the reconstruction process of volume holograms by means of an externally applied electric field. EH is based on the voltage controlled photorefractive effect at the paraelectric phase. The basic switching device is a space charge Bragg grating or a volume hologram stored in a volume of a paraelectric crystal by the photorefractive process.
