Abstract
A number of applications require a technology that allows for the storage, retrieval, and processing of a large volume of information. Holographic memory offers high-density data storage with parallel access and high throughput. The random encoding of the reference (RER) beam recording technique allows for a selective mechanism, such as spatial de-correlation, between recorded and reconstruction fields, which is different from traditional Bragg selectivity. This report illustrates experimental results of the RER-hologram memory operation, and its suitability for a solid-state architecture.
