3. Introduction
 A hologram is a 3D image reproduced form a
pattern of interference.
 The Holography technique was invented in
1948 by the Hungarian Dennis Gabor.
 It can store up to 1-4 TB of information in a
sugar cube sized crystal.
 It promises to be the data storing system of
the future. Hence holographic storage system
has the potential to became the next storage
generation over conventional storage system.

4. What is Holographic Memory?
 Holographic memory is a three-dimensional
data storage system that can store
information at high density inside the crystal or
photopolymer.
 It is a memory that can store information in
the form of holographic image (hologram)
 Like other media, holographic media is
divided into write once (where the storage
medium undergoes some irreversible
change), and rewritable media (where the
change is reversible).

5. Holographic
Versatile Disc
 These discs have the
capacity to hold up to 3.9
terabyte (TB) of
information, which is
approximately 6,000 times
the capacity of a CD-
ROM, 830 times the capacity
of a DVD, 160 times the
capacity of single-layer Blu-
ray-Discs, and about 8 times
the capacity of standard
computer hard drives as of
2007.
 The HVD also has a transfer
rate of
1gigabyte/s

6. COMPONENTS
 Most holographic storage systems contain some
components basic to the setup.
 These are:-
 a) Laser Beam
 b) Beam Splitters to split the Laser Beam
 c) Mirrors to direct the Laser Beam
 d) A liquid crystal Display panel (SLM)
 e) Lenses to focus the Laser Beam
 f) Recording Material
 g) CCD cameras

8. How it Works
 Laser beams splits into 2 beams.
o Beams works as object beam and Reference
beam.
 To read the stored data, the media is
illuminated by original reference beam.
 Thousands of Holograms can be stored in the
same location by simply changing angle of
reference.
 Multiple Data Recording is possible by Using
Light at Different angles

 Associative memory capability
 Access All the Data in Few Microseconds
 Storage Capacity Increased Multiple

12. LIMITATIONS AND CHALLENGES
 It is very difficult to arrange all of those
components like CCD camera , SLM
arrays and beam steering devices.
 Needs good recordings sensitive material
to allow high data transfer rate.
 If too many pages are stored in one
crystal, the strength of each hologram
gets diminished.
