Holographic chip and optical system for the holographic chip

Abstract From the Canadian patent

There is disclosed a semiconductor-based microelectronic device especially a , microchip, provided a holographic storage layer on its optically accessible surface, preferably on its top surface. The invention also includes an optical read-write system for the holographic chip with a holographic layer for polarisation holographic recording. The optical system comprising a read and a write laser, polarising optics, and a programmable display element for the , purposes of modulating the object beam and the reference beam and a detector , array for the readout of the information contained in the holograms of the holographic layer. An image of the programmable display element is recorded in …
