Storage capacity of holographic associative memories

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The storage capacity of holographic associative memories is estimated. An argument based on the available degrees of freedom shows that the number of patterns that can be stored is limited by the space–bandwidth product of the hologram divided by the number of pixels in each pattern. A statistical calculation shows that if we attempt to store associations by multiply exposing the hologram, the cross talk among the stored items severely degrades the output fidelity. This confirms the storage capacity predicted by the degrees-of-freedom argument.
