System and method for steering focal plane data using cylindrical coordinates to access data locations in a holographic memory

摘要: Systems and methods for steering a complex, spatially-modulated incident beam of coherent light to gain access data locations in holographic memory cell (HMC). One the systems includes: (1) reflective element, locatable proximate first focal plane beam, (2) rotational mechanism, coupled that orients element according desired angle steer direction (3) refractive refracts reflected from create second HMC rotatable about an axis thereof receive at location thereon is function angular position HMC.
