  • Patent number: 5793504
    Abstract: A plurality of holograms are simultaneously angularly and spatially multiplexed within a storage medium by writing the holograms at different locations within the storage medium using reference and object beams directed thereto via cooperating reference beam and object beam scanners, respectively. The simultaneously angular and spatially multiplexed holograms are subsequently read-out by directing a reference beam through a desired location within the storage medium using the reference beam scanner. The reference beam is directed from the storage medium to a phase conjugator which conjugates the phase of the reference beam and directs the phase conjugated reference beam back to the same desired location within the storage medium so as to excite a corresponding conjugate object beam which is then directed onto a detector array.
