PROJECT TITLE
Holographic memory module with ultra-high capacity and throughput
TECHNICAL ABSTRACT (LIMIT 200 WORDS)
This Small Business Innovative Research Phase I Project will develop a next generation computer memory system based on holographic data storage. The memory system will have a speed and capacity 1000 times greater than existing systems. The project outlines a plan to develop a novel holographic volume memory with ultra-high data storage capacity (more than 1012 bits) and throughput (1 Gbit/second) and rigid configuration. The Phase I project will consist of theoretical analyses of 3-D memory module and of experimental tests to validate the data storage system with solid-state architecture. The fully developed system will significantly extend the archival and retrieval data capacity of NASA in terrestrial and spaced-based information systems. In addition, the proposed holographic memory system is well suited for high security government and commercial applications because of the way it encrypts the data. The stored data can be recalled only with a decoder-key identical to that at the recording stage.
POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
The developed system will represent a radical improvement over magnetic and optically encoded media for storing software for personal computers and libraries of films or books.
