 pntroduction
r Magnetic and conventional optical data storage
technologies are approaching physical limits
beyond which individual bits may be too small or
too difficult to store.
r Holographic data storage is an approach of
storing information throughout the volume of a
mediumͶnot just on its surface.
r With the rapidly increasing demand for increased
storage capacity in a smaller space, this
technology offers an economy in price.

r Next ʹ Next generation Technology
r 1 HVD = 5800 CDs = 830 DVDs = 160 Blu-ray
r Media type : Ultra-high density optical disc
r Encoding : MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC (H.264), and VC-1
r Capacity theoretically up to 3.9 TB
r Developed by HSD [orum
r Usage : Data Storage,
: High-defination video and the possibility of Ultra-high
defination video
r permits over 10 Kbits of data to be read and written in
parallel with a single flash
 What ps Hologram ?

A hologram is a recording of the optical interference

pattern that forms at the intersection of two
coherent optical beams
r Signal beam
r Reference beam
on the holographic medium.
 Types of Holograms
‡ Transmission Hologram
± Can be used to store data
± Uses coherent light

‡ Reflection Hologram
± The kind you find on credit cards
± Uses white light

r Black and white photograph

± pntensity

r Color photograph
± pntensity and wavelength

r Hologram
± pntensity, phase, and sometimes wavelength

 Spatial Light Modulator(SDM)
r Translates electronic data (0͛s
and 1͛s) into optical pattern of
light and dark pixcels
r Data is arranged in an array
similar to a checker board of
usually 1 million bits
r By varying the angle of the
reference beam ,wavelength
or media position, many
holograms can be stored in the
same volume of storage
material

 HVD Technology
r HVD uses a technology called ͚collinear technology͛
r Two Laser rays one blue-green and one red are used
r The role of blue-green laser is to read the data
encoded the form of laser interference fringes from
the holographic layer
r The red laser serves the purpose of a reference
beam and also to read the servo info from the
aluminum layer
 Read only HVD Read\Write HVD
r supports some irreversible r uses inorganic
photochemical reaction photorefractive crystals
triggered by the bright
regions of the optical r Electrons get photo-
interference pattern excited at the bright
fringes, diffuse or drift
and are re-trapped at a
r Material diffuses from dark fringe
darker to brighter regions so
that short monomer chains r Trapped charge can be
can bind together to form rearranged by later
long molecular chains illumination, so it is
possible to erase
recorded holograms

 pnteresting [acts
r pt has been estimated that books in the U.S. Library
of Congress, the largest library in the world, could be
stored on 6 HVD͛s
r The pictures of every landmass on Earth ʹ like the
one shown in Google Earth can be stored on two
HVD͛s
r With MPEG4 ASP encoding , a HVD can hold
anywhere in between 4,600 to 11,900 hours of
video, which is enough for non-stop Playing for a
year
