Holographic storage and reconstruction of nonstationary waves can be accomplished in spectrally nonselective media through the use of a three-dimensional recording medium, as well as by the two- and three-dimensional holography of waves that are produced via spectral decomposition of light pulses. Attention is given to the superfast scanning of light beams and the possibility of picosec-femtosec chronophotography. It is shown that the interactions of spectrally resolved ultrashort wave packets with monochromatic waves allows the formation of holographic analogs of moving optical elements, while using neither direct nor indirect macroscopic shifts of optical hardware.
