3-D Optical Memory Disk
Abstract
In this report we describe optical disks that store data holographically in three dimensions using either angle multiplexing or wavelength multiplexing. Data is stored and retrieved in parallel blocks or pages, each page consisting of approximately one million bits. The storage capacity of such disks is derived as a function of disk thickness, pixel size, page size and scanning parameters. The optimum storage density is approximately 120 bits/micrometers.
