Abstract

An expository account is given for the principle of distributed associative writing of optical images by recording in a photosensitive medium the total signal from a set of superimposed images with a random spatial shift. The method preserves the basic characteristic qualities of the holographic method but does not require the use of sources of coherent or monochromatic radiation. The results of an experimental test of the method are presented.
