Reflection-type holographic disk memory with random phase shift multiplexing.
A reflection-type holographic disk memory system with random phase shift multiplexing is proposed. The experimental results show that a binary data page of 18x17 bits is recorded successfully at intervals of 4 mum in a Fe:LiNbO3 crystal with a thickness of 0.5 mm when six data pages are superimposed. Numerical results show that random phase modulation can improve the shift selectivity in shift multiplexing recording as well as in data security. Experimental and numerical results show that reflection-type holographic disk memory has a high potential for terabyte storage capacity as in transmission-type memory.
