  • the production of the individual holograms in the holographic storage medium, which switch the corresponding light paths for connecting the individual data sources to the data sinks, is very simple.
  • In order to store a hologram that contains one or more specific light transmitters with a connecting one or more specific light receivers only co-emitting light transmitters have to be arranged at the locations of these light transmitters and light receivers and the wave field of these light transmitters must be recorded in the respective hologram.

If one now places a light receiver in the place of the second "recording light transmitter", the wave field of the light transmitter is deflected or diffracted onto the light receiver.
  • the positioning of the storage medium between the light transmitters and light receivers is comparatively uncritical: a parallel offset of the storage medium to the target position is almost irrelevant; Tilting of the storage medium in relation to the target position, however, must be so small that no crosstalk occurs between adjacent channels.

  • the required transmission channel i.e. the connection between a specific data source e and a specific data sink is selected by. that a certain pattern lights up from a certain number of light emitters of the data source. The corresponding transmission path is opened by this pattern.
  • the arrangement according to the invention not only permits the transfer of data between a respective data source and a data sink. Rather, data can also be transmitted between a data source and a series of data sinks or between a series of data sources and a data sink. Furthermore, it is possible to transmit data from one data source to all data sinks or from all data sources to one data sink (claim 6).
  • the ability of the arrangement according to the invention to transmit data from a data source to a series of data sinks 5 can also be used to reduce the number of holograms required and the number of light transmitters and / or receivers: um nevertheless, to enable a transmission between only one data source and one data sink at a time, a control telegram, which is constructed in a manner known per se, is transmitted optically, that of the large number of data sinks whose light receivers receive data due to the transmission channel opened by means of a specific hologram , communicates which data sink is to be specifically addressed
  • Another possibility of reducing the number of light transmitters or light receivers required is to provide only as many light transmitters or light receivers as possible,

  • the light transmitters and / or the light receivers are arranged in a cell or on one or more concentric circles, since such an arrangement largely suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels, which is otherwise due to the three-dimensional height ⁇ logram structure, which acts as a three-dimensional diffraction grating, as well as the occurrence of higher orders.

Abstract

Installation pour transférer des données numériques entre des sources de données et des collecteurs de données. Les sources de données et les collecteurs de données peuvent par exemple être des groupes modulaires dans des installations de traitement de données, des systèmes de communication téléphonique, etc. Les sources de données (4) possèdent des photoémetteurs (2) et les collecteurs de données (5) des photorécepteurs (3). Entre les photoémetteurs et les photorécepteurs est disposé un support d'enregistrement holographique (1) dans lequel sont enregistrés des hologrammes produits spécialement. La caractéristique de ces hologrammes est d'ouvrir, lors de l'éclairage de photoémetteurs ou de groupes de photorécepteurs, des canaux de transfert entre ces photoémetteurs et ces photorécepteurs. La structure de l'hologramme permet ainsi de déterminer l'affectation des photoémetteurs et des photorécepteurs. Dans un développement avantageux de la présente invention, des éléments de représentation sont en outre prévus entre les photoémetteurs et le support d'enregistrement, respectivement le support d'enregistrement et les photorécepteurs, afin d'améliorer l'efficacité de l'installation.
