yes, or at least there are a lot of academic research papers
regarding this topic.
Try some of these (not limited to optical memory,
but also optical computing):
1. Brown J. et al, Volume holographic storage
and processing for large databases.
Published in Optical Computing Journal, 1993
(can't remember which volume )
2. Dowd P.W., Hierarchical scalable photonic
architectures for high-performance processor
interconnection (published in IEEE Trans
of Comp).
