Atomic Holographic Nanotechnology will Set the Pace for the Future

WORM , Another approach is a complex Multi-Level SERIAL 2D area WORM CD/DVD by C3D Inc., out of business ? , and Reveo, its flourescent pit/groove technology must use a tricky 100 layer optical focusing system to read 1 layer/surface in serial bit streams. Even Calimetrics proposed multi level CD can't increase bandwidth with their technology.

WORM , The same can also be said for Georgia Institute of Technologies silver-oxide film. These devices also use blue/red/green laser diodes to write once but have to fall back on longer wavelenght diodes to read data SERIALLY.

WORM , Mempile has been working on a disc since 2000 that is made out of a single monolithic piece of inexpensive transparent material that has light sensitive molecules (chromophores) attached to it. IBM believes these materials lack a convenient means of desensitization once the data have been written, so that they do not saturate and overwrite the holograms during readout, i.e., destructive readout.

WORM , Plasmon (licensor of Mitsubishi 2D Area Phase Change Technology), for future optical storage using phase change Blu-Ray .

March 14, 2001 University of Cologne in Germany, has based their concept using ferroelectrics materials in holographic storage. The Optostor AG licensor of the University Technology estimates the cost of their 10 terabyte holographic storage crystal (static system) at $ 100,000 and the data transfer at 12 MB sec. Their design is great for pseudo laboratory environment of approx 1,000 sq.ft or more needed for operation of their large complex gas laser system. The data transfer rate of 12 MB sec is as bad as a CD-RW or tape drive having the same low bandwidth. The device is also destructive readout which Colossal feels is another major set back for this concept. Optostor AG Düsseldorf, Germany is like Colossal Storage in 2 respects in that it will also have a 100 year data storage shelf life using lithium niobate ferroelectric optical media .

WORM , Boston College has developed a WORM epoxy glass slurry having prohibitive costs with reliability again to the forefront. Imperial College and Purdue University are working together on holographic storage concepts like other countries including Russia, France, Italy, South Korea , Japan/Bulgaria, China, Hungary, Belgium and others.
