title: Holographic associative memory with nonlinearities in the correlation domain.
abstract: We describe a shift-invariant all-optical holographic associative memory implemented using phase conjugate mirrors and Fourier transform holograms. A key feature of our system is the large storage capacity obtained through the use of nonlinearities in the correlation domain. The use of angularly multiplexed plane wave reference beams allows access to the correlation domain where nonlinearities in the phase conjugate mirrors can be used to reduce greatly crosstalk and correlation noise.
