The operation of an image storage panel, which is read in by means of optical absorption and read out in visible light by means of the Pockels electro-optic effect, has been demonstrated. The sensing, storing, and readout medium consists of a single-crystal film of cubic ZnS coated with a blocking contact. Performance characteristics observed to date on devices with areas between 1 and 2 cm2 are resolution of 85 line pairs/mm, continuous visible readout for 1 h, and image storage for up to 100 h. The readin sensitivity to achieve a 2:1 contrast ratio in readout is 20 erg/cm2.

The design and operation of a multidimensional photorefractive correlator is described. With a photorefractive medium as the integrator, this system effects the correlation of up to four time-evolving signals. The holographic correlation volume is viewed by projection onto a two-dimensional detector. The correlator is designed for use with binary-phase signals, especially pseudorandom noise sequences.
