Abstract

We present a compact method to provide independent weighted interconnections between every pixel in a two-dimensional input array and every pixel in a two-dimensional output array. The two input dimensions and two output dimensions are connected by a four-dimensional weight matrix consisting of wavelength-multiplexed volume holograms that use cryogenic spectral hole burning in a single holographic element.
