Abstract
A microhologram-multiplexing method that makes it possible to increase the rate at
which information is recorded and read out is proposed and investigated. An optical
system for implementing the given method has been developed and experimentally
tested. It is shown that holograms can be multiplexed by using a multichannel
recording head, and that they can be read out simultaneously by using a multichannel
readout head. The proposed multiplexing method and the optical system developed for
creating archival optoholographic memory systems have the advantages that there is
no need to mechanically displace the elements of the system during multiplexing at
the recording stage nor during reconstruction of the multiplexed holograms, that
there is no crosstalk in the beams reconstructed from the multiplexed holograms, and
that relatively thin recording media can be used for recording.
