Abstract

An improved method for storing permanent holographic gratings in photorefractive materials for use in narrow band filters such as the H.sub.60 filter, as well as the filters themselves. The invention also provides an improved method of controlling the electric field and the nature of the photorefraction to minimize wavelength shifts and band broadening at a minimal reduction of diffraction efficiency.
