  Holographic memory is a technology
that can store information at high
density inside crystals or
photopolymers.
 The advantage of this type of data
storage is that the volume of the
recording media is used instead of
just the surface .

 Technical aspects

 Like other media, holographic media

is divided into write once and
rewritable media .
 Rewritable holographic storage can
be achieved via the photorefractive
effect in crystals

12/07/2021 3
  Mutually coherent
light from two
sources creates an
interference pattern
in the media. These
two sources are
called the reference
beam and the signal
beam

 To record on the hologram, the data in
the form of electric signal is converted
to optical signals by a page composer
 The controller generates the address to
access the desired page
 This results in the exposure of a small
area of the recording medium through an
aperture

12/07/2021 5
  The optical output signal is directed to
the exposed area by the deflector
 Using this beam deflecting mechanism,
the light (which carries the information)
and the reference beam are made to
interact

12/07/2021 6
  The interference pattern is thus recorded
on the hologram. To record a different
page, the aperture is moved and the
above process is repeated.

  To retrieve the information stored in a
hologram, shine the reference beam
directly onto the hologram. When it
reflects off the hologram, it holds the
light pattern of the image stored there.
Then send this reconstruction beam to
a CMOS sensor to recreate the original
image.

 ADVANTAGES

 HVD offers several advantages over

traditional storage technology. HVDs can
ultimately store more than 2 terabyte
(TB) of information -- that's 400 times
more than a single-sided DVD and 40
times more than a current double-sided
Blu-ray than a single-sided DVD and 20
times more than a current double-sided
Blu-ray DVD

  HVDs also use a thicker recording layer
than DVDs -- an HVD stores information
in almost the entire volume of the disc,
instead of just a single, thin layer.
 HVDs storing holograms in overlapping
patterns, while a DVD basically stores
bits of information side-by-side

12/07/2021 11
  The other major boost over conventional
memory systems is HVD's transfer rate
of up to 1 gigabyte (GB) per second --
that's 40 times faster than DVD. An HVD
stores and retrieves an entire page of
data, approximately 60,000 bits of
information, in one pulse of light, while a
DVD stores and retrieves one bit of data
in one pulse of light.

 Development and marketing

 At the National Association of

Broadcasters 2005 (NAB) convention in
Las Vegas, conducted the first public
demonstrations of the world’s first
prototype of a commercial storage
device at the Maxell Corporation of
America booth.

developing holographic memory,
Polaroid spinoff Aprilis, and Optware of
