Homodyne detection readout for bit-oriented holographic memories.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Homodyne detection is proposed to increase the readout signal of bit-oriented holographic memories. It can be easily implemented on present memory architectures by making the diffracted signal interfere with a reflection of the reading beam. The large resulting increase of the readout signal can be used to enhance the data transfer rate. A first experimental demonstration of such a readout procedure is presented.

Simplified architectures with homodyne detection for high capacity Lippmann data storage
Lippmann storage systems are close to holographic memories: binary data are encoded as pixels on an image beam by means of a spatial light modulator. This data page is imaged into the plane of a mirror set beneath the recording medium. Conversely to holography, the image beam interferes with its reflection onto this mirror, and not with an external reference beam [1-3]. These interferences reco...
متن کاملHomodyne detection of holographic memory systems
We present a homodyne detection system implemented for a page-wise holographic memory architecture. Homodyne detection by holographic memory systems enables phase quadrature multiplexing (doubling address space), and lower exposure times (increasing read transfer rates). It also enables phase modulation, which improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to further increase data capacity. We believe th...

1. Lippmann data storage Lippmann interference architectures are alternatives to holographic memories for high capacity data storage [1-3]. In these systems, the image beam carrying the information data interferes with its reflection onto a mirror. The resulting interference pattern thus records a grating in the light sensitive material. Several images can be wavelength multiplexed at the same ...

We discuss experimental results of a versatile nonbinary modulation and channel code appropriatefor two-dimentional page-oriented holographic memories. An enumerative permutation code is used to provide a modulation code that permits a simple maximum-likelihood detection scheme. Experimental results from the IBM Demon testbed are used to characterize the performance and feasibility of the propo...
متن کاملAtom-Based Sensing of Weak Radio Frequency Electric Fields Using Homodyne Readout
We utilize a homodyne detection technique to achieve a new sensitivity limit for atom-based, absolute radio-frequency electric field sensing of 5 μV cm-1 Hz-1/2. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer is used for the homodyne detection. With the increased sensitivity, we investigate the dominant dephasing mechanisms that affect the performance of the sensor. In particular, we present data on power broad...
