Abstract

We suggest the use of a pinhole imaging hologram as a new approach for optical interconnects. It can avoid the formation of intermodulation gratings and has some other advantages. On recording, the object beam passes through a pinhole thus forming an image plane hologram, but when reconstructing the pinhole can be removed. The reconstructed image can be programmed and processed by using optical information processing elements placed in the position of the reconstructed pinhole or pinholes. We present theoretical considerations and experimental results for pinhole holograms produced for holographic optical interconnects.
