  • Patent number: 6222755
    Abstract: A method and a compact apparatus to read shift-multiplexed holograms on a storage medium without the need for any lenses, and without the need for moving the storage medium. The shift-multiplexed holograms have centers at different locations. The apparatus can generate an array of diverging spherical waves of reference beams, each for illuminating one of the holograms. Each hologram is read as an image on a detector array by illuminating that hologram with a corresponding diverging spherical wave of reference beam. Different holograms can be read by illuminating the medium with a different diverging spherical reference beam. The diverging beams can be from an array of sources, or can be from switching one source.
