Abstract

We present an overview of our research activities on optical data storage by following a so called microholographic approach that expands the conventional bit-oriented storage into the third dimension. Pits are replaced by reflection volume gratings created within a sub-micrometer range using highly focused laser beams. This article summarizes the main features of this storage method including system design and development, data coding and processing scheme as well as material testing.
