Holographic digital data storage using phase- modulated pixels
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose and demonstrate the use of phase images for holographic data storage. Use of phase images as input leads to uniform diffraction efficiency of multiplexed data pages. Use of binary phase-based data pages with 0 and p phase changes produces uniform spectral distribution at the Fourier plane. This in turn facilitates better recording of higher spatial frequencies. We experimentally demonstrate a phase-based holographic data storage system using shift multiplexing in a Fe:LiNbO3 crystal, and use it for associative retrieval. Preliminary studies indicate high discrimination capabilities of phase-based holographic data storage system over the amplitude-based system in a content-addressable memory.

Phase-image-based content-addressable holographic data storage
We propose and demonstrate the use of phase images for content-addressable holographic data storage. Use of binary phase-based data pages with 0 and p phase changes, produces uniform spectral distribution at the Fourier plane. The absence of strong DC component at the Fourier plane and more intensity of higher order spatial frequencies facilitate better recording of higher spatial frequencies, ...
متن کاملPixel–matched phase–conjugate readout for holographic data storage
We demonstrate one-to-one pixel–matching of phase–conjugate digital volume holographic data storage, with data pages as large as a megapel (1024 × 1024 pixels). A self–pumped phase–conjugate mirror in BaTiO3 is used to provide a phase–conjugate reference beam, which reconstructs the data–bearing object beam from a LiNbO3:Fe crystal using the 90◦ geometry. The systems tradeoffs of phase–conjugat...
متن کاملDetector Arrays for Digital Holographic Storage Applications
This chapter discusses detectors for holographic data storage applications. While it may be possible to use a single detector or linear array of detectors, the focus here is on 2-D arrays of pixels. There are many considerations for the detector array when designing a complete system that arise from the intimate relationship between the holographic storage system, optical readout technique and ...
متن کاملCorrelation-Based Multiplexing of Complex Amplitude Data Pages in a Holographic Storage System Using Digital Holographic Techniques
Holographic recording media can store the amplitude and the phase, or the complex amplitude, of a beam on the basis of holography. Owing to this characteristic, digital data can be encoded onto the complex amplitude of a signal beam in holographic data storage. However, most of conventional holographic storage systems encode digital data onto the amplitude alone because there are difficulties f...
متن کاملMultiplexed phase–conjugate holographic storage using an intermediate buffer hologram
Volume holographic storage combines fast, parallel readout (because each hologram stores a large data page) with high density (because many holograms are multiplexed within the same volume). Phase-conjugate readout has been proposed as a way to eliminate the precision optics that recent demonstrations have relied upon to image the pixels of the input spatial light modulator (SLM) onto those of ...
