Abstract
A photorefractive interconnect system with coherently erasable synapses (PISCES) is described. Comparing holographic erasure by intensity and phase modulation of the writing beams, we find that the timeaverage technique is most amenable to system implementation. Calculations derived from a simple model of diffraction show that it is possible to find configurations that maximize the interconnection capacity. The PISCES includes Fresnel zone plates for spot array generation, amplitude and phase spatial light modulators based on liquid crystal technology, and detector arrays, in addition to the photorefractive crystal. Alternatives for each of these elements are described.

Control of volume holograms

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the maximum dynamic range that a hologram can support falls inversely with the square root of the rank of the hologram, where the rank is the number of exposures needed to record the holograms.

Potentialities and limitations of hologram multiplexing by using the phase-encoding technique

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that imperfections of available optical components generate optical noise and limit the storage capacity of a pure phase-encoding system, and an improved recording technique is proposed to overcome some of these limitations.

Incoherent/coherent multiplexed holographic recording for photonic interconnections and holographic optical elements

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a novel architecture and associated apparatus for the development of highly multiplexed photonic interconnection networks and holographic optical elements with maximum optical throughput efficiency and minimum interchannel crosstalk, based on parallel incoherent/coherent holographic recording and readout principles.
