ABSTRACT:
A system for high density holographic storage announced by Cal Tech is improved. The basic Cal Tech system records successive holograms by physically shifting the recording medium relative to the paired reference and signal beams. By depending on Bragg selectivity, successive holograms may be overlapped and still differentiated in the direction of overlap--in the "x-direction". The claimed system improves storage density by tilting the holographic plane to introduce a Bragg component in the y-direction, thereby enabling differentiation of overlapping holograms in that direction as well.
