Holographic Storage

How does Holographic Storage work?　　　The way holographic storage devices record is by splitting a laser into

two beams. One beam, called the information beam, holds the encoded data and when the other beam, called the reference beam, crosses it at precise angles. At the point of intersection of the reference beam and the data carrying signal beam, the hologram is recorded in the light sensitive storage medium.

Valuable CommentsIn our press announcement of the recent financial raise:Dr. Shinichi Tanaka, Director, Storage Media Systems Development Center, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. "Optical discs have achieved improved recording density by making the light spot smaller, but with the Blu-ray Disc, this approach has achieved the ultimate area. There are high expectations for volume hologram recording as an innovative approach to further dramatic improvements in recording density. Optware's technology shows the right direction and offers promise for the future."

At the COST Action P8 meeting held in Sep. 2004 in Paris;Dr. H Richter of Thomson stated that　- Near-field : Reliability/robustness of a system with

removable media is questionable, even with improved technology

- With collinear optics in combination with reflective disks and conventional DVD servo systems, compact and reliable drives can be realized ---- Optware is leading in thedevelopment of such drives concept

System Margin

Another reason why conventional 2-AxisHolography has never been commerciallyViable is due to its poor system margin;

Standardization Strategy

The HVD Alliance will pursue de jure standards

de jurestandardvs.Ecma → ISO

de facto standards : A format, language, or protocol that has become a standard not because it has been approved by a standards organization but because it is widely used and recognized by the industry as being standard. Some examples of de facto standards include: β/ VHS, Microsoft Windows, MAC OS, CD, MD
