Abstract

We propose a new holographic memory scheme based on random phase-encoded multiplexing in a photorefractive LiNbO₃:Fe crystal. Experimental results show that rotating a diffuser placed as a random phase modulator in the path of the reference beam provides a simple yet effective method of increasing the holographic storage capabilities of the crystal. Combining this rotational multiplexing with angular multiplexing offers further advantages. Storage capabilities can be optimized by using a post-image random phase plate in the path of the object beam. The technique is applied to a triple phase-encoded optical security system that takes advantage of the high angular selectivity of the angular-rotational multiplexing components.
