    摘要: An encryption method and apparatus for holographic data storage are disclosed. In a system using orthogonal phase-code multiplexing, data is encrypted by modulating the reference beam using an encryption key K represented by a unitary operator. In practice, the encryption key K corresponds to a diffuser or other phase-modulating element placed in the reference beam path, or to shuffling the correspondence between the codes of an orthogonal phase function and the corresponding pixels of a phase spatial light modulator. Because of the lack of Bragg selectivity in the vertical direction, the phase functions used for phase-code multiplexing are preferably one dimensional. Such phase functions can be one-dimensional Walsh functions. The encryption method preserves the orthogonality of reference beams, and thus does not lead to a degradation in crosstalk performance.

    摘要: A method for encoding and decoding digital data for storage in a holographic medium (12). Digital data, consisting of binary data (B.sub.i) or grey scale data (A.sub.i), is encoded in bit groups or digit groups (B.sub.k, A.sub.k) containing at least k=1 bits or digits, respectively, by assigning to each bit group (B.sub.k) one reference bit (B.sub.r) and to each digit group (A.sub.k) two reference digits (A.sub.r1, A.sub.r2), assigning the bits of group (B.sub.k) to information bits (B.sub.j), assigning the digits of group (A.sub.k) to information digits (A.sub.j), assigning the reference bit (B.sub.r) and information digits (B.sub.j) to a reference pixel (P.sub.r) and information pixels (P.sub.j) chosen from pixels (24) of a holographic signal modulator (18), and assigning the reference digits (A.sub.r1, A.sub.r2) and information digits (A.sub.j) to reference pixels (P.sub.r1, P.sub.r2) and information pixels (P.sub.j) chosen from pixels (24) of the holographic signal modulator (18). Storing all pixels (24) by illuminating the holographic signal modulator (18) with a signal beam (22) which impresses upon the signal beam (29) pixels (24), guiding the signal beam (22) to the holographic medium (12) and storing the pixels (24) by directing a reference beam (26) at the holographic medium (12) from a predetermined angle .beta. and at a predetermined part of the holographic medium (12). Decoding the encoded binary data (B.sub.i) and encoded grey scale data (A.sub.i) by aiming the reference beam (26) at the holographic medium (12) at the same angle .beta. and location as during storage, recovering pixels (24) and recovering from them using a decoding unit (38) reference bits (B.sub.r) and information bits (B.sub.j) for each bit group (B.sub.k), and recovering reference digits (A.sub.r1, A.sub.r2) and information digits (A.sub.j) for each digit group (A.sub.k). Reconstructing the original binary data (B.sub.i) by differentiating the binary values of bits (B.sub.r) and (B.sub.j). Reconstructing the grey scale data (A.sub.i) by differentiating the reference digits (A.sub.r1, A.sub.r2) to obtain a benchmark (D.sub.r) and applying a binary operation on the benchmark (D.sub.r) and each of the information digits (A.sub.j).

    摘要: A video image F�k! is identified as a basis image and stored as a basis page S�k! in a holographic storage medium. A subsequent image F�k+n! is stored by recording in the medium a page S�k+n!=F�k+n!-a�k!F�k!, where a�k!.noteq.0 and preferably a�k!=1. The page S�k! is recorded with a reference beam R�k!, while S�k+n! is recorded with a reference beam R�k+n! orthogonal to R�k!. The basis page is reset whenever the average intensity of a page to be stored exceeds a predetermined threshold. An image F'�k! is retrieved by reading basis page S�k! and letting F'�k!=S�k!. Subsequent images F'�k+n! are retrieved as S�k+n!+b�k!S�k!, where b�k!.noteq.0 and preferably b�k!=a�k!=1. The page addition step is performed coherently, i.e. by accessing the medium with a reference wave function R�k+n!+b�k!R�k!. The coherent addition is achieved by using a compound phase-and-amplitude modulator in a phase-code-multiplexed system, and by simultaneously accessing the storage medium at two different angles in an angle-multiplexed system. Differential video compression leads to a reduction in interpage crosstalk and to a capacity increase in crosstalk-limited memories. Optical page-by-page addition allows fast readout and eliminates the need for a time-consuming electronic decompression step.

    摘要: A method for coded-wavelength multiplexing according to which a signal waves S.sub.i (r) is recorded in a holographic medium in a counter-propagating geometry using corresponding writing reference waves R.sub.i (r). The method involves selecting discrete wavelengths .lambda. and encoding reference wave vectors .rho..sub.l which make up writing reference waves R.sub.i (r) such that the writing reference waves R.sub.i (r) at each wavelength .lambda. are orthogonal. The stored signal waves S.sub.i (r) are reconstructed in the form of reconstruction waves A.sub.c (.sigma.) with reconstruction reference waves R.sub.c (r) selected from among the writing reference waves R.sub.i (r). In the event of angular multiplexing of the reference wave vectors .rho..sub.l, it is possible to use one reference wave to produce a number of reconstruction waves A.sub.c (.sigma.) and generate a mosaic of desired holographic pages.

    摘要: A holographic data storage apparatus having no readout lens. The apparatus has a spatial light modulator (SLM), a focusing element such as a lens, a holographic data storage material and a spatial light detector such as a CCD. The lens is located between the SLM and CCD such that the SLM is imaged onto the CCD (i.e. the positions of the SLM, lens, and CCD satisfy the lens equation). The holographic storage material is located between the lens and CCD. Preferably, the storage material is located centered upon a Fourier plane of the lens. In this case, the apparatus also has a phase mask located adjacent to the SLM. Alternatively, the storage material is located a distance away from the Fourier plane or is not centered on the Fourier plane. In yet another embodiment, the holographic storage material is located in contact with the CCD.

    摘要: The holographic storage and retrieval system according to the present invention comprises one convex reflector and one concave reflector having the same optical axis. The reflective surfaces of the two reflectors are opposite each other. The concave reflector is normally larger than the convex reflector. The holographic storage medium is positioned at the focal surface of the concave reflector. The spherical reflector system according to the present invention has nearly ideal performance off-axis: high bandwidth, low aberration imaging is permitted at a number of radial and axial locations. Thus, multiple SLM/CCD pairs can be placed off-axis to access the same storage medium and implement multiple interconnects.

    摘要: Signal processing methods for addressing intersymbol interference in page-access optical memories such as holographic or two photon systems are disclosed. The invention takes advantage of the cartesian arrangement of data in page-access optical memories. A detector using the Viterbi algorithm is used to decode data row by row. Decision feedback is used in the direction perpendicular to the Viterbi direction. The use of data from previously decoded rows allows a reduction in the complexity of the Viterbi detector.

    摘要: A system and method for optical lymph node mapping. The system is useful for guiding sentinel lymph node biopsy surgeries. A contrast agent that includes a fluorescent dye is injected near the site of a malignancy. The contrast agent drains into the lymphatic system, collecting in a sentinel node or nodes. The system utilizes one or more low-power continuous-wave lasers or light-emitting diodes modulated with a digital code sequence to probe the tissue suspected of containing the sentinel node. When the light is incident near the sentinel node, it will excite fluorescence from the dye. A portion of the scattered fluorescent light is captured with one or more photo-detectors. A correlation of the photo-detector signal and the digital code sequence is calculated to produce an estimate of the distribution of flight times for photons traveling from a given source to a given detector. The flight time distributions are used along with the measured amplitudes to reconstruct a map of contrast agent location within the tissue.
