Abstract
We study the conditions under which atomic condensates can be used as a recording media and then suggest a reading scheme which allows to reconstruct an object with atomic reading beam. We show that good recording can be achieved for flat condensate profiles and for negative detunings between atomic Bohr frequency and optical field frequency. The resolution of recording dramatically depends on the relation between the healing length of the condensate and the spatial frequency contents of the optical fields involved.
