    Application diagram of OPOM4×8 in polarization holography. (a) Concept of polarization hologram multi-channel multiplexing, whose numerical result indicates that the unique information can only be output when PCdek=PCenk. (b) Experimental demonstration by illuminating with different input PC reference waves. The input PC reference wave that determines the reconstruction results for the Arabic numerals 1–8 corresponds respectively to the horizontal coordinates in (a).
