1. An optoelectronic holographic system, comprising:

  • an optoelectronic integrated circuit, having a plurality of pixels to form a pixel array on an interface thereof and a plurality of electrical terminals for both feeding information to said pixel array and exporting information from said pixel array, each of said plurality of pixels having a light modulation mode and a light detection mode;

    a holographic recording medium with a plurality of superimposed holograms therein, having a plurality of surfaces to receive light beams and being attached to said interface of said integrated circuit with a first surface of said plurality of surfaces to provide an optical path between said pixel array on said interface and said recording medium; and

    said integrated circuit in said light modulation mode modulating an incident light beam to produce a spatially modulated light beam propagating towards said recording medium, said integrated circuit in said light detection mode operating to receive and detect light signals from said recording medium.
