Abstract

In polarization holography, orthogonal reconstruction means the polarization state of reconstructed wave is orthogonal to that of signal wave; thus, the reconstructed wave is completely different from the signal wave. The orthogonal reconstruction is a key phenomenon that verifies the polarization holography may manipulate the polarization state of reconstructed wave freely. However, there have been few works regarding the orthogonal reconstruction until now. In this work, we report on the orthogonal reconstruction in polarization holography based on the tensor polarization holography theory, where the polarization states of signal and reference waves are orthogonal and the angle between the signal and reference waves is 120° and 150°. Moreover, we find that the aforementioned angle is the key to observe the orthogonal reconstruction. The work not only completes the prediction of tensor polarization holography theory, but also verifies that the polarization holography has the ability to manipulate the polarization state of reconstructed wave freely.
