A unique associative memory architecture is presented that combines the compact optical processing environment of a Fabry-Perot Confocal Resonator with the dynamic storage and recall properties of volume holograms. The architecture also eliminates the need for electronic or opto-electronic processing elements through the use of photorefractive gain and attenuation devices. Initial experimental results show the system is capable of recalling a complete object from memory when presented with a partial version of the object.
