Volume Holographic Multiplexing Methods

  • Chapter
Holographic Data Storage

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 76))

Abstract

Data storage is the conversion of abstract information, representing the data, into physical changes in an appropriate medium. Data retrieval is the inference of the stored information from the storage-induced changes. The physical processes applied to different storage technologies differ widely, and, to a large extent, define their performance limits and applications. In this chapter we focus on the construction of holographic memories utilizing the effect of volume diffraction. Material physics related to holographic storage is the topic of later chapters.
