INTRODUCTION
In this type of data storage information can be
recorded and /or read with 3 dimensional
resolution.
This innovation has the potential to provide
peta-byte level mass on DVD sized disc.
Data recording and read back is achieved by
focusing lasers with in the medium.
HISTORY
STORING INFORMATION IN AN
OPTICAL/HOLOGRAPHIC DATA
STORAGE SYSTEM
When the blue-green argon laser is fired , a
beam splitter creates two beams.
One beam, called the object or signal beam
,will go straight ,bounce off one mirror and
travel through a spatial light modulator (SLM).
An SLM is a liquid crystal display (LCD) that
show pages of raw binary data as clear and
dark boxes
STORING INFORMATION IN AN
OPTICAL DATA STORAGE
SYSTEM
The information from the page of binary code
is carried by the signal beam around to the
light sensitive lithium innovate crystal
A second beam, called the reference beam
,shoots out the side of the beam splitter and
takes a separate path to the crystal
When the two beams meet , the interference
pattern that is created stores the data carried by
the single beam in the specific area in the
crystal.
READING DATA
The stored data is read through the
reproduction of the same reference beam used
to create the hologram
The reference beams light is focused on the
photosensitive material ,illuminating the
appropriate interference pattern ,the light
diffracts on the interference pattern, and
projects the pattern onto a detector
ADVANTAGES
They are non-volatile
Optical media can last a long time
Transportability-optical media are widely used
on other platforms, including PC
DISADVANTAGES
Optical discs require a special drives to
read/write.
Optical storage is expensive per GB/TB in
comparison to other technologies.
CONCLUSION
The optical/holographic disk will be the next
technological revolution and its future is very
promising.
Recent research has demonstrated that
holographic storage systems with desirable
properties can be engineered.
