FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT OPTICAL READ/WRITE MEMORY SYSTEM DESIGN

摘要

The optical system configuration is to be arranged so that a variety of storage materials can be inserted for testing and so that other system components can be modified or replaced by newer compon¬ents in the future. The optical test bed system is to be fabricated and delivered, along with the specifications for the components to be used with the test bed.nDuring the contract period we analyzed the capacity of a holographic memory system in terms of the constructional parameters of the various system components and determined how these parameters are interrelated. The analysis was made for four possible memory configurations to cover any practical systems that may be developed. A similar analysis was made which relates the needed beam deflector optics to the constructional para¬meters of the system components, with special emphasis on the parameters associated with the acousto-optic beam deflectors. These two studies clearly indicated the correct procedure for designing an optimum memory system, given the operational constraints of available devices.
