    Abstract: Storage of information is performed by interference effects in depth in an optically accessible information storage unit. The storage unit is divisible into a plurality of individual information storage areas permitting the recording of the information in the form of various light and no light conditions. Plural light scattering layers are formed in depth in the unit corresponding to the information stored in that area. Read out is performed by applying light to the unit. The scattering layers act on the applied light in accordance with the information stored to provide indications for detection of the stored information.

    Abstract: An optical read-only memory system for reading binary information from a film with transparent locations indicating bits. A plurality of lens systems are provided to successively divide the binary information from the film into smaller and more easily handled units of information. The system is adapted to be used also as an associative memory unit. Frequency modulation systems are provided for use of the system as a parallel operated associative memory. Frequency modulation is also used to reduce the number of light sources and photosensitive elements required.
