    摘要: An optical correlator is disclosed that compares signals of interest agai selected reference signals stored in holograms both of which are imaged onto a spatial light modulator comprising electron trapping material. The cooperative action of the light from the hologram and the light from a delayed line causes the spatial light modulator to produce signals that are proportional to the correspondence between the signals of interest and the reference signals.

    摘要: A holographic memory system which utilizes the Talbot Effect for the lensless, near-field propagation of repeating image planes of periodic structures. Periodic phase structures at one plane in a holographic memory system are mapped to the input amplitude data plane in the holographic memory system. In a preferred embodiment, coherent light is passed through a lenslet array and propagated via the Talbot Effect to self-image coincident on a spatial light modulator that provides the holographic memory system with input data. The lenslet array is located relative to the spatial light modulator such that the desirable phase image structure is self-imaged in its Fresnel region onto the input amplitude data structure.

    摘要: Partially overlapping holograms are stored in a cylindrical volume holographic storage medium capable of rotation about and translation along its longitudinal axis. The reference and signal beams are mutually perpendicular, and each is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. An index-matched housing encloses the medium laterally. An optional helically-varying optical axis (c-axis) orientation allows recording at constant angular intervals over a full revolution. Signals from stored pages are used to dynamically adjust the positioning of the medium relative to the light beams as the medium continuously spins at high velocity, and to control the access of the signal beam to the readout camera.

    摘要: Provided is an apparatus and method for use thereof. The apparatus, in one embodiment, includes a 1×2 coupler in communication with a waveguide. The 1×2 coupler, in this embodiment, is configured to separate an input finite bandwidth optical signal provided from the optical waveguide into two similar optical signals. Input ends of first and second waveguide arms, in one embodiment, are in communication with the 1×2 coupler and configured to receive ones of the input optical signals. An inherent birefringence of each of the first and second waveguide arms may be substantially similar. Moreover, the first and second waveguide arms have different physical path lengths that differ by an amount (ΔL). Additionally, a 2×2 coupler may be in optical communication with an output end of the first and second waveguide arms and configured to provide an output TE polarization and an output TM polarization.

    摘要: Novel multiplexed volume holographic optical elements for the development of highly multiplexed photonic interconnection and holographic memory systems with maximum optical throughput efficiency and minimum crosstalk, based on parallel incoherent/coherent double angularly multiplexed volume holographic recording and readout principles, are disclosed. These principles further provide for arbitrarily weighted and independent interconnections, which are of potential importance in the development of densely interconnected photonic implementations of neural networks, photonic interconnection networks for telecommunications switching and digital computing applications, optical information processors, and optical memories. Utilization of the principles that are key features of this holographic element allows for the single step transfer of all or part of the information stored in a three-dimensional holographic storage device to a second such device in a single exposure step. Variants of the multiplexed volume holographic optical element include bulk holographic recording media as well as stratified volume holographic optical elements, comprising in either case both holographic (optical) modulation patterns and computer-generated holograms. Further variants of the multiplexed volume holographic optical element incorporate a subhologram structure within the volume holographic optical element that allows for high efficiency recording in certain real time photorefractive media.
