Data Storage In Photorefractives Revisited

The results of a fresh look at holographic data storage in photorefractive materials is reported. This work concludes that advances in photorefractive material, particularly SBN, AO deflector technology, CCD technology, and laser technology could make a very interesting low latency mass storage device possible. Two advances in this technology, a technique for a highly asymmetric write/read cycle and a method for building artificial crystal shcipes, are described.© (1989) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
