What Is Holographic Data Storage: The High-Capacity Memory of the Future?

Holographic data storage is a next-generation optical storage technology that stores data using the three-dimensional interference of light waves.

Why?

Magnetic and flash memories have reached their physical limits.
Holographic memories offer the ability to store much more data in a smaller space.

How?

• Laser-Based Encoding: Data is recorded in the form of holograms.
• Photopolymer Storage: Data can be preserved for much longer periods.
• High Read Speed: Provides data access up to 100 times faster compared to traditional systems.
