INTRODUCION An HVD (holographic Versatile Disc), a holographic storage media, is an advanced optical disc thats presently in the development stage. Polaroid scientist J. van Heerden was the first to come up with the idea for holographic three-dimensional storage media in 1960. An HVD would be a successor to todays Blu-ray and HDDVD technologies. It can transfer data at the rate of 1 Gigabit per second. The technology permits over 10 kilobits of data to be written and read in parallel with a single flash. The disc will store upto 3.9 terabyte (TB) of data on a single optical disk. Holographic data storage, a potential next generation storage technology, offers both high storage density and fast readout rate. In this article, I discuss the physical origin of these attractive technology features and the components and engineering required to realize them. I conclude by describing the current state of holographic storage research and development efforts in the context of ongoing improvement to established storage technologies. 1.1 BRIEF HISTORY Although holography was conceived in the late 1940s, it was not considered a potential storage technology until the development of the laser in the 1960s. The resulting rapid development of holography for displaying 3-D images led researchers

to realize that holograms could also store data at a volumetric density of as much as 1/ whereis the wave-length of the light beam used. Since each data page is retrieved by an array of photo detectors, rather than bi-by-bit, the holographic scheme promises fast readout rates as well as high density. If a thousand holograms, each containing a million pixels, could be retrieved every second, for instance, then the output data rate would reach 1 Gigabit per second. 4. In the early 1990s, interest in volume-holographic data storage was rekindled by the availability of devices that could display and detect 2-D pages, including charge coupled devices (CCD), complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) detector chips and small liquid-crystal panels. The wide availability of these devices was made possible by the commercial success of digital camera and video projectors. With these components in hand, holographic-storages researchers have begun to demonstrate the potential of their technology in the laboratory.By using the volume of the media, researchers have experimentally demonstrated that data can be stored at equivalent area densities of nearly 400 bits/sq. micron. (For comparison, a single layer of a DVD disk stores data at ~ 4.7 bits/sq. micron) A readout rate of 10 gigabit per second has also been achieved in the laboratory.

2. UNDERLYING ECHNOLOGY 2.1 HOLOGRAPHY Holographic data storage refers specifically to the use of holography to store andretrieve digital data. To do this, digital data must be imposed onto an optical wavefront, stored holographically with high volumetric density, and then extracted fromthe retrieved optical wav front with excellent data fidelity. A hologram preserves both the phase and amplitude of an optical wave front of interest called the object beam by recording the optical interference pattern between it and a second coherent optical beam the reference beam. Fig 2.1 shows this process. FIG 2.1 INERFERENCE

The reference beam is designed to be simple to reproduce at a later stage (A common reference beam is a plane wave a light beam that propagates without converging or diverging). These interference fringes are recorded if the two beams have been overlapped within a suitable photosensitive media, such as a photopolymer or inorganic crystal or photographic film. The bright and dark variations of the interference pattern create chemical and/or physical changes in the media, preserving

a replica of the interference pattern as a change in absorption, refractive index or thickness. FIG 2.2 HOLOGRAM 7. WIKIPEDIA
he Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) is an optical disc technology developed between April 2004 and mid-2008 that can store up to several terabytes of data on an optical disc the same size as a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc. It employs a technique known as collinear holography, whereby a green and red laser beam are collimated in a single beam. The green laser reads data encoded as laser interference fringes from a holographic layer near the top of the disc. A red laser is used as the reference beam to read servoinformation from a regular CD-style aluminium layer near the bottom. Servoinformation is used to monitor the position of the read head over the disc, similar to the head, track, and sector information on a conventional hard disk drive. On a CD or DVD this servoinformation is interspersed amongst the data. A dichroic mirror layer between the holographic data and the servo data reflects the green laser while letting the red laser pass through. This prevents interference from refraction of the green laser off the servo data pits and is an advance over past holographic storage media, which either experienced too much interference, or lacked the servo data entirely, making them incompatible with current CD and DVD drive technology.[1] Standards for 100 GB read-only holographic discs and 200 GB recordable cartridges were published by ECMA in 2007[2][3], but no holographic disc product has appeared in the market. A number of release dates were announced, all since passed[4].

Current optical storage saves one bit per pulse, and the HVD alliance hopes to improve this efficiency with capabilities of around 60,000 bits per pulse in an inverted, truncated cone shape that has a 200 m diameter at the bottom and a 500 m diameter at the top. High densities are possible by moving these closer on the tracks: 100 GB at 18 m separation, 200 GB at 13 m, 500 GB at 8 m, and most demonstrated of 5 TB for 3 m on a 10 cm disc.[citation needed] The system uses a green laser, with an output power of 1 watt which is high power for a consumer device laser. Possible solutions include improving the sensitivity of the polymer used, or developing and commoditizing a laser capable of higher power output while being suitable for a consumer unit.[citation needed] [edit]Competing

Technologies

HVD is not the only technology in high-capacity, optical storage media. InPhase Technologies was developing a rival holographic format called Tapestry Media, which they claim will eventually store 1.6 TB with a data transfer rate of 120 MB/s, and several companies are developing TB-level discs based on 3D optical data storage technology. Such large optical storage capacities compete favourably with the Blu-ray Disc format. However, holographic drives are projected to initially cost around US$15,000, and a single disc around US$120180, although prices are expected to fall steadily.[5] [edit]Holography

System Development Forum

The Holography System Development Forum (HSD Forum; formerly the HVD Alliance and the HVD FORUM) is a coalition of corporations purposed to provide an industry forum for testing and technical discussion of all aspects of HVD design and manufacturing. As of February 2011, the HSD Forum comprised these corporations[citation needed]: Sony Hoplon Infotainment Alps Electric Corporation, Ltd. CMC Magnetics Corporation Hitachi Mitsubishi Apple Inc.

[edit]Standards On December 9, 2004 at its 88th General Assembly, the standards body Ecma International created Technical Committee 44, dedicated to standardizing HVD formats based on Optware's technology. On June 11, 2007, TC44 published the first two HVD standards:[6] ECMA377,[2] defining a 200 GB HVD "recordable cartridge" and ECMA-378,[3] defining a 100 GB HVDROM disc. Its next stated goals are 30 GB HVD cards and submission of these standards to the International Organization for Standardization for ISO approval.[7] New High Definition Video Technologies Road Map (20042010) From Maxell Corporation of America [8] shows the road map of HVD.
