Holographic Data Storage

Holocubes can store massive volumes of data because the data is stored three-dimensionally throughout the depth of the optical storage media, not just on its surface. Potential structures for holotechnology recordable media include holographic disks (Holodisks or HoloCDs) and holotechnology cubes (Holocubes). One of the challenges is that holodisks and/or holocubes must be accessible to light, but additionally resilient in construction. When optimized, these media may contain more than an entire terabyte of content. The commercial market for holographic disks and/or holographic cubes could grow to several billion dollars by 2010. basics of holographic data storage provides additional information on holotech.

Thus far, use of holotechnology science has been relatively limited and overallly focused on the areas of art, entertainment and enforcement. Nonetheless, the depth and scope of holographic applied science uses is growing. It is on the verge of rapid growth in many new areas spanning: information storage and extraction; data search; computer intelligence; telecommunication; navigation; medicine; sports; education; and manufacturing. Linked page holographic data storage breaks the surface barrier also provides developments on this.

To encode information using holotechnology technology, a "Spatial Light Modulator" (SLM) imprints a whole page of data into the signal ray that is then projected into the photosensitive photosensitive media. In a manner similar to engraving holotechnology pictures of things, the signal and reference light rays cross and engrave the data pattern in the photosensitive media. For data retrieval, the patterns of variable luminosity from the retrieved picture are reconverted into electronic information using a "Detector Array" (DA). Also consider holographic technology and 3D imaging for related subjects.

Holotech data recording and playback also have the potential for greater potential to overcome minor errors. Holographic data may be more fluid and less binary than its magnetic counterpart, so that errors are not binary events but smoothly continuous. In this respect, holotechnology data storage and retrieval helps computing systems to act more like the human brain than computing systems with traditional magnetic media. storing data three-dimensionally with holographic storage provides additional discussion.
