Abstract
The paper begins by reviewing research on optical associative memories employing phase conjugate mirrors and resonators. Novel work on the u se of self-pumped phase conjugate mirrors (SPPCMs) during recording to improve holographic diffraction efficiencies for up to 24 angularly m ultiplexed gratings is described and the first demonstration of a mult imode phase conjugate resonator, with up to 21 modes, operating betwee n two SPPCMs (one of which was induced in a non-degenerate manner) via holographic gratings is shown.
