← ScienceWhich mechanism impairs holographic data storage using photorefractive crystals?
A)Thermal fixing erases stored holograms
B)Photobleaching alters refractive index permanently✓
C)Nonlinear absorption causes beam distortions
D)Two-photon absorption allows deeper penetration
💡 Explanation
Photobleaching reduces the refractive index contrast within the crystal because the material undergoes irreversible chemical changes upon intense laser exposure, therefore recorded data degrades rather than being maintained, caused mainly by heating.
