ABSTRACT:
A holographic memory system which utilizes the Talbot Effect for the lensless, near-field propagation of repeating image planes of periodic structures. Periodic phase structures at one plane in a holographic memory system are mapped to the input amplitude data plane in the holographic memory system. In a preferred embodiment, coherent light is passed through a lenslet array and propagated via the Talbot Effect to self-image coincident on a spatial light modulator that provides the holographic memory system with input data. The lenslet array is located relative to the spatial light modulator such that the desirable phase image structure is self-imaged in its Fresnel region onto the input amplitude data structure.
