Zusammenfassung:A holographic data storage system having high recording density and compact memory architecture is disclosed. The system includes a laser light source, a spatial light modulator ( 40 ) for data input, a beam splitter ( 50 ) for separating out part of the parallel laser beams as reference beam, and a beam steering system ( 60 ). Parallel laser beams passing through the spatial light modulator ( 40 ) form a two-dimensional signal beam carrying digital data. Unique patterns are then generated from interference of the signal beam and the reference beam, which can be recorded into the volume holographic medium ( 10 ) with unique incident position {grave over ()} angle and cross sectional phase distribution of reference beam.
