OPTICAL DATA STORAGE: Holographic data storage uses volumetric crystal media

摘要

Access Optical Networks (AON; Monmouth Junction, NJ) has developed several technologies for holographic data storage (HDS) with write-only, read-only, and rewrite capability in a volumetric crystal media. The new nonvolatile-memory HDS products are designed to have a storage density of 1.2 terabytes (Tbytes), with read/rewrite performance of 1 Gbit/s. The company is currently seeking partners to commercialize the HDS products, which will initially target cloud computing, high-performance computing, enterprise, and solid-state device applications.
