The stored image can be completely reconstructed even though the probe wavelength is very different from the recording one. The large spectral width of the polychromatic probe beam also causes adverse effect on the storage density. But this can be overcomed if an additional optical component is inserted in the imaging system. Therefore, PCR has a great potential to achieve nondestructive readout and large storage density simultaneously. In addition, PCR enables us to design a simple memory system because its readout tolerance is quite large as compared to the conventional monochromatic readout. Unique and attractive features of the polychromatic reconstruction method was theoretically and experimentally demonstrated.展开更多

First, the schematic of the proposed memory system was described. Then,experimental demonstrations of multiplexing in plane and along the depth direction were presented. The estimated storage capacity of single layer recording was introduced and the maximum storage capacity was discussed. To increase the storage capacity, the multi-layered recording was described. In the multilayered recording, the storage capacity can be increased by appropriate arrangement of holograms in each layer.展开更多

With this unique configuration the optical pickup can be designed as small as the DVD ′ s, and can be placed on one side of the recording disc. A 2-dimensional digital page data format was used and the shift-multiplexing method was employed to increased recording density of HVD. As the servo technology is being introduced to control the objective lens to be maintained precisely to the disc in the recording and the reconstructing process, a vibration isolator is no longer necessary. In HVD, the pre-formatted meta-data reflective layer was used for the focus/tracking servo and reading address information, and the dichroic mirror layer was used for detecting holographic recording information without interfering with the preformatted information.Experimental and theoretical studies suggest that the holographic material is very effective to increased recording density of the system. HVD will be compatible with existing disc storage systems, like CD and DVD, and enable us to expand its applications into other optical information storage systems.展开更多
