 History

• Devices that use light to store and read

data have been the backbone of data
storage for nearly two decades.

• Compact discs revolutionized data

storage in the early 1980s, allowing
some hundreds of MB of data to be
stored on a single disc.
• An improved version of the CD, called a
digital versatile disc (DVD), was
released which could store few(4)
gigabytes of data on a single disc.

• CDs, DVDs and magnetic storage all

store bits of information on the surface
of a recording medium
WORKING
 Basic
components:
•Blue green argon
laser.
•beam splitters
•mirrors to direct the laser light
•a photopolymer or lithium niobate
crystal
•an LCD panel (SLM)
•lenses to focus the laser beams
•a charge-coupled device camera

AN OVERVIEW OF A HVD(HOLOGRAPHIC VERSATILE DISC)
 CONCLUSION

Holographic Data Storage is a

convenient and effective way of
data storage.
Capacity increased from
300Gbyte to 3.9TB
No need to turn over the
CD,DVD,etc
