HONG is manager of optical information processing at Rockwell Wlth three-dimensional recording and parallel data readout, holographic memories can outperform existing optical storage techniques. In its basic form, a hologram is the photographic record of the spatial interference pattern created by the mixing of two coherent laser beams. One of the beams usually carries spatial information and is labeled the "object" beam. The other is distinguished by its particular direction of travel and is labeled the "reference" beam. Illuminating the recorded hologram with the reference beam will yield or reconstruct the object beam and vice versa. As the holographic material becomes thicker, the reconstruction becomes very sensitive to the particular angle of incidence of the reference beam, which allows multiple objects to be recorded in the same volume and accessed independently by using an appropriate set of associated reference beams. Such holograms would be recorded sequentially, each object beam illuminating the holographic material simultaneously with its unique reference beam.

Shop or Compare Prices 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 multi-megabytes of data to be stored on a disc that has a diameter of a mere 12 centimeters and a thickness of about 1.2 millimeters. In 1997, an improved version of the CD, called a digital versatile disc (DVD), was released, which enabled the storage of full-length movies on a single disc. In a holographic memory device, a laser beam is split in two, and the two resulting beams interact in a crystal medium to store a holographic recreation of a page of data. CDs and DVDs are the primary data storage methods for music, software, personal computing and video. A CD can hold 783 megabytes of data, which is equivalent to about one hour and 15 minutes of music, but Sony has plans to release a 1.3-gigabyte (GB) high-capacity CD. A double-sided, double-layer DVD can hold 15.9 GB of data, which is about eight hours of movies. These conventional storage mediums meet today's storage needs, but storage technologies have to evolve to keep pace with increasing consumer demand. CDs, DVDs and magnetic storage all store

Introduction With its omnipresent computers, all connected via the Internet, the Information Age has led to an explosion of information available to users. The decreasing cost of storing data, and the increasing storage capacities of the same small device footprint, have been key enablers of this revolution. While current storage needs are being met, storage technologies must continue to improve in order to keep pace with the rapidly increasing demand. However, both magnetic and conventional optical data storage technologies, where individual bits are stored as distinct magnetic or optical changes on the

It also illustrates the fundamental components of a holographic storage system, as shown in the figure The device first splits a blue-green argon laser beam into separate reference and object beams. The object beam, which carries the data, gets expanded so that it fully illuminates a spatial light modulator (SLM). An SLM is simply an LCD panel that displays a page of raw binary data as an array of clear or dark pixels. The object beam finally interacts with the reference beam inside a photosensitive crystal. The ensuing interference patternthe substance of the hologramgets stored as a web of varying optical characteristics inside this crystal. To read out the data, the reference beam again illuminates the crystal. The stored interference pattern diffracts the reference beam's light so that it reconstructs the checkerboard image of the light or dark pixels. The image is directed upon a charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor array, and it instantly captures the entire digital page.

InPhase Technologies will continue development of Lucent's holographic storage technology. Instead of recording data on the surface of a disk, the technology will enable the recording of data through the entire thickness of the storage medium, which should allow for greater storage capacity, officials said. Developed by Lucent's research arm, Bell Laboratories, the technology also stores data in what officials called page format, which can be accessed one million bits at a time for faster data retrieval. Lucent officials have not set a date for the first holographic storage products to arrive. Storing information on more than one layer of a disk is far from a new idea. In November 1999, C3D, based in New York, introduced its Fluorescent Multilayered Disk, a storage disk with as many as 50 fluorescent layers designed to hold nearly 10GB of data. The C3D technology that discriminates between the different fluorescent layers to read and write data is still in development.

Archive Holographic storage nears debut By Margaret Quan EE Times April 26, 2001 (10:59 a.m. EST) or more than 20 years researchers worldwide have pursued the Holy Grail of holographic data storage, an optical method of storing massive amounts of data in small areas by writing data as light patterns in three dimensions on a filmlike medium. During that time, hardware advances carried out independent of holography have made holographic storage more achievable. These include such improvements as CMOS sensor technology, development of spatial light modulators using ferroelectric liquid crystals and mirror arrays, and reduction in the cost and size of shorter wavelength green lasers. Yet the biggest challenge has been to find the right material for the recording medium, one that works and is inexpensive enough to produce commercially. In the last year, some research groups at universities, corporations, government labs and startups claimed to have found the material that will propel the technology forward and enable its adoption in commercial storage media products in two to three years.

The Outlook for Holographic Storage Complete document in pdf. by Eric Elias Contents: Hard-Disk Drives: A Moving Target Other Technical Problems Worth Noting Holographic methods have the potential to store a huge amount of information in a crystal the size of a sugar cube. Proponents claim that holographic storage could find applications in satellite communications, airborne reconnaissance, high-speed digital libraries, rugged storage for tactical vehicles, and image processing for medical, video, and military purposes. Despite the tantalizing promise of this approach and the validity of such applications, this study concludes that serious questions exist concerning the price and performance characteristics of this technology. In addition, the ongoing progress occurring in magnetic hard-disk drive technology will limit holography to niche markets at best. Besides criticizing some of the wilder claims of holographic proponents, this study provides a specific example of the challenges faced by an emerging technology attempting to unseat an established player. Interest in holographic storage has increased recently because of cost reductions in supporting components and recent government sponsorship. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently launched two complementary programs: the Holographic Data Storage Systems (HDSS) consortium and the Photorefractive Information Storage Materials (PRISM) program. PRISM began in late 1994 with the hope of developing better materials and highlighting trade-offs between mutually exclusive performance parameters. HDSS proposes to develop hardware technologies for practical holographic data-storage systems and to integrate these technologies into working demonstration systems. The programs share many of the same participants, including IBM, GTE, and Rockwell.

But the technology may finally move out of the realms of sci-fi novelty and into storage. The demand for storage in the enterprise is increasing rapidly, as is the need for cheaper technology with more capacity. Until now, improvements made in magnetic storage technologies have met the mounting requirements, but some experts are suggesting that holographic storage could provide a cheaper solution.

Magazine Archives Full Story Holographic Storage Once the stuff of stylish sci-fi flicks and other pop-culture applications, the hologram may be the super high-density storage medium of tomorrow. by Diana K. McLean var clickTitle = "Techworthy.com - Holographic Storage"; Many of us may be familiar with holograms only as the little images on our credit cards, or from movies in which characters use holograms to communicate with each other across great distances. (If you’re a Star Wars fan, think of Darth Vader’s messages from the Emperor.) Some day, however, we may find ourselves using holograms for data storage instead of using CDs or magnetic disk drives. The technology, which has been researched for decades, is not yet ready for the consumer market, but there are experts working to change that. In holographic storage, pages of data (each of which might contain thousands or millions of bits) are stored in the form of an optical interference pattern within a photosensitive crystal or polymer material. Two laser beams are used to write the pages into the materialan object or signal beam and a reference beam. The object beam is imprinted with the page of data to be stored when the beam passes through or is reflected off of a liquid-crystal-like screen known as a spatial-light modulator (SLM). The pages of data are stored and retrieved as two-dimensional imagespatterns of thousands of pixels, some clear and some opaque. Each pixel represents a single bit of information. The pattern looks somewhat like the squares of a crossword puzzle. When the object beam meets the reference beam and the two beams interfere with each other inside the photosensitive recording material, the hologram of that page of data is created.

There is still some fine tuning that must be done before such a high-density storage device can be marketed, but IBM researchers have suggested that they will have a small HDSS device ready as early as 2003. These early holographic data storage devices will have capacities of 125 GB and transfer rates of about 40 MB per second. Eventually, these devices could have storage capacities of 1 TB and data rates of more than 1 GB per second fast enough to transfer an entire DVD movie in 30 seconds. So why has it taken so long to develop an HDSS, and what is there left to do?

Essentially, a hologram is produced when a laser reference beam interferes with another beam reflected from the object to be recorded. The pattern of interference is captured by photographic film, a light-sensitive crystal, or some other optical material. Illuminating the pattern with the reference beam reproduces a 3D image of the object.
