摘要:
Systems and methods are provided or use with a light source which generates a light beam. These systems may include a detector which detects light beam information and which determines whether multiple modes are present in the light beam so that the light source may be adjusted. These systems may further include a beam splitting device, such as an optical wedge, to provide two sample beams that intersect to provide a fringe pattern. The detector may then detect this fringe pattern and compute a visibility value that may be used to determine whether multiple modes are present.

Systems and methods are provided or use with a light source which generates a light beam. These systems may include a detector which detects light beam information regarding a light beam exiting an etalon. The system then uses the detected information to determine whether multiple modes are present in the light beam so that the light source may be adjusted to return the light source to single mode operation.

The present invention relates to embodiments of a process for subjecting a holographic storage medium to illuminative treatment to: (1) enhance or optimize recording of holographic data; (2) enhance or optimize reading of recorded holographic data; and/or (3) erase recorded holographic data. The present invention also relates to embodiments of a system comprising: (a) an illuminative treatment beam; (b) means for reducing the coherence of the beam and (c) means for transmitting the reduced coherence beam to cause illuminative treatment of: (1) an unrecorded portion of a holographic storage medium to provide pre-cured portions having increased ability to stably record holographic data; (2) a recorded portion of a holographic storage medium to provide a post-cured portion having reduced residual sensitivity; and/or (3) a recorded portion of a holographic storage medium having holographic data to provide an erased portion wherein at least some of the recorded holographic data is erased.

Aspects of the present invention are generally directed to a holographic system. Generally, aspects of the present invention are directed to allocating power of a light beam generated by a coherent light source among the various discrete light beams used in a holographic system. Specifically, a variable optical divider is incorporated into an optical steering subsystem of the holographic memory system to redirect the coherent light beam into one or more discrete light beams, and to dynamically allocate power of the coherent light beam among the discrete light beams.
