Abstract

This report is an update on our continuing exploration of the wide range of potential device designs using electrically switchable holographic composites (ESHC) for memory applications. Here we shall describe a self contained programmable beamlet array generator, a laser focusing lens with four discrete selectable focal points, and a simple associative holographic memory showing how multiplexed data storage can be implemented with no moving parts through the use of ESHC.
