摘要: Method and apparatus for making a plurality (100) of reflection holograms (101-109) positioned in two-dimensional array to interconnect optically (120) nonlinear optical devices (121-129) also array. The are operated function as logic NOR gates, the form any desired circuit such clocked JK sequential flip-flop circuit. made by affixing photosensitive material (500) opposite surfaces layer transparent (505). maintains positions relative both before after is made. Spatial light modulator masks (501,502) temporarily placed over outside mask all but selected areas designated from being illuminated coherent beams. A series beam splitters (521,524) mirrors (523,525,552) direct first through emitting device an individual each one receiving interfere with material. interfering beams fringe patterns that will originate interconnecting response device. This process repeated desired. stored removing developing
