Holographic Device Holds 200-300GB

Optware Corp exhibited for the first time a recording and playback device for holographic media and an optical pickup device.

The company hopes to introduce a commercial product for business use that can record 200GB to 300GB on a 12 centimeter disc by the summer of 2005.

Optware has been aiming for the practical application of its technology called “polarized collinear holography,” which enables a more simple optical system than conventional holographic recording and playing devices. With this technology, the “signal beam” and “reference beam” used for the recording and playing of holographic media can be directed to the disc with just one objective lens.
