Abstract

It is well recognized that holographic data storage may represent the next generation of optical data storage. Unlike DVDs and other optical discs in which information is stored in a plane, holographic storage technologies have a volumetric memory. Among several configurations, the page-oriented architectures present great advantages, such as the high data rate that stems from their inherent parallelism [1]. In this work, we present such an architecture, based on the Lippmann photographic process [1–5], in which pages of data are stored with wavelength multiplexing.
