Abstract :
A unique feature of holographic mass memory is its potential for fast random access if nonmechanical means for page addressing are implemented. In this paper, we describe fast access holographic memory architectures that use acoustooptic deflectors as addressing devices and discuss the critical design issues. We also describe recent Rockwell efforts to develop a fast access holographic memory system.
