INTRODUCTION
Magnetic and conventional optical data storagetechnologies are approaching physical limitsbeyond which individual bits may be too smallor too difficult to store.
Holographic memory is developing technologythat has promised to revolutionalise thestorage systems.
It can store data upto 1 Tb in a sugar cube
sized crystal. Data from more than 1000 CDscan fit into a holographic memory System.
Holographic data storage is an approach ofstoring information throughout the volume of amediumnot just on its surface. It is based onthe principle of holography.

WHY DO WE NEED THIS?
For Internet applications alone,industry estimates are that storage
needs are doubling every 100 days-Nelson Diaz, Lucent Technologies
Optoelectronics Industry andTechnology Development Association
projects that by the year 2010, astorage system serving an average LANwill need 10 TB and a WAN server willrequire 100 TB to 1 petabyte ofstorage

WHATIS HOLOGRAPHY?
Holography is a technique of recordingpatterns of light to produce three
dimensional object.
Holographic memory is a technique thatcan store information at high densityinside crystals or photopolymers.

The holographic memory system is made upof the following basic components:
Blue-green argon laser
Beam splitters to spilt the laser beam
Mirrors to direct the laser beams
LCD panel (spatial light modulator)
Lenses to focus the laser beams
Lithium-niobate crystal or photopolymer
Charge coupled device camera(CCD)

Unlike magnetic storagemechanisms which store data on
their surface, holographic memoriesstore information throughout theirwhole volume.
This method of storing multiple
pages of data in the hologram iscalled multiplexing.
MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE

There are SIX types of multiplexing
Angular Multiplexing Wavelength Multiplexing
Spatial Multiplexing
Peristrophic Multiplexing Shift Multiplexing
Phase-Encoded Multiplexing

In holographic data storage, an entire page ofinformation is stored at once as an opticalinterference pattern within a thick,
photosensitive optical material.

Data stream is sent to the SLM as0s and 1s.
Forms a checkerboard pattern
1s transmit light, 0s block light
Beam is split
Light passing through SLM is the signal (object)

Reflected beam is the reference beam
Beams interfere in the medium toproduce hologram much like
before

PC with a holographic technology platform(HoloPCs)will be able to access data more rapidly
and in a qualitativelydifferent manner than conventional PCs.
Two-dimensional data saving systems suchas CDs and DVDs record and retrieve filesin a serial fashion -- one bit at a time.Holographic data systems retain and
retrieve data in parallel, a total (million- bit)page of files at a time.
The interface of holography and roboticsmay make holobots that learn throughcreative identification of useful patterns inbig quantities of files.
ADVANTAGES

Manufacturing cost HDSS is very highand there is a lack of
availability of resources which areneeded to produce HDSS.
Holograms appear dimmer becausetheir patterns must share the material's
finite dynamic range. Writes in the same fashion can degrade
previous writes in the same region ofthe medium.

The future of holographic memory isvery promising. The page access of data
that holographic memory creates willprovide a window into next generationcomputing by adding another dimensionto stored data.
Holographic memory will most likelybe used in next generation supercomputers where cost is not as much ofan issue.
