  • Data Output Interface for Holographic Memory
    Invited Paper DataOutput Interface for Holographic Memory Gan Zhou, Olga Ivanova, Allen Pu, Demetri Psaltis, and Fai Mok Holoplex inc. 600 S. Lake Ave., Ste. 102, Pasadena, CA 91106 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The issue of interfacing holographic memory with an electronic processor is discussed. The high speed and parallel access of two dimensional, page formatted optical data from holographic memory can be utilized to reconfigure an electronic processor at a rate much faster than traditionally available. This new technique could be the stepping stone to a new class of high performance device for a variety of image/signal processing tasks. We will first give a review of the holographic memory activity at Holoplex, in particular, our research on holographic optical disk as a read-only memory device. We will then discuss the optical architecture for interfacing an optical RUM with a programmable gate array processor. Keywords: optical memory, holographic ROM, parallel access, reconfigurable computing. 1. HOLOGRAPHIC ROM (HROM) We have implemented a holographic optical disk for high-capacity, digital data storage application. The holographic disk utilizes the Bragg-selectivity of the volume hologram to achieve a storage density much higher than conventional means. Figure 1 illustrates the holographic disc system where the holograms are arranged on concentric tracks. Each spot contains a number of multiplexed holograms that can be read out in separate steps by steering the reference beam to different angles Figure 1.Conceptual Diagram oft/ic Holographic Optical i)isk Theimaging optics and the performance of the imaging system are shown in figures 2 and 3.
