  3. ABSTRACT • Holography goes beyond the two dimensional approach of data storage • Holography reads & writes a million bits of data in a single flash of light • Data transfer rate – billion of bits per second • Compelling choice for next generation • HDSS stores 1TB of data in a sugar-cube- sized crystal

  4. INTRODUCTION • The term Holography comes from Greek term meaning “Whole Writing” • It is a two step process • It uses two laser beams • Signal Beam • Reference Beam • Recording Medium-Litium-noibate crystal or photoploymer • Data readout depends on reference beam

  5. BACKGROUND • The principles of holography were first put forward by Dennis Gabor • The idea of HDSS was proposed by Pieter J. Van Heerden. • The technology was demonstrated by RCA Laboratories • Over the past decade IBM & Bell Labs have led to the rise of Holographic Memory development

  6. KEYWORDS • Hologram:- an optical-interference pattern. • Signal beam:- laser beam that carries data. • Reference beam:- beam that paticipates in interference & helps in data retrieval. • Spatial Light Modulator:- a liquid crystal display which displays data as pages of binay data • Lithium-niobate crystal or photopolymer:- to record the data • Charge-coupled device(CCD) camera:- that detects binary data for conversion back to original data

  7. BASIC PRINCIPLES • Object wave is superimposed by reference wave to from hologram • Reconstruction wave is used to retrieve the data • This basic principle became the backbone of holographic data storage for digital data

  8. BASIC COMPONENTS • Blue-green argon laser • Beam splitters • Mirrors • LCD • Lens • Lithium-niobate crystal or photopolymer • Charge-coupled device(CCD) camera

  9. TECHNICAL PROBLEM WITH HDSS • If too many pages are stored in the crystal - the strength of each hologram is diminished. -the refernce beam is not shined at precise angle to retieve the hologram.

  10. RESEARCH WORK ON HDSS • Many companies have claimed success in developing a photopolymer media . • InPhase has already developed HDSS named as “Tapestry”.

  11. New Holographic Data Storage System To Be Developed • Bayer AG in has developed new HDSS,based on photosensitive plastic material. • Capacity-1000GB. • Photo Addressable Polymers are used. • How does this technology work?

  12. CONCLUSION • Holographic data storage is today close enough to commercialization,thanks to miniaturization of components. Researchers are working in this field to develop an technology to meet all challenges. With such technologies on the market, you will be able to purchase the first holographic memory players by time “Star Wars: Episode II” is released on home 3-D discs. This DVD-like disc would have a capacity 27 times greater than the 4.7-GB DVDs available today, and the playing device would have data rates 25 times faster than today’s fastest DVD players.
