WORKING PRINCIPLE OF Hvd technology

4/22/12

HVD uses a technology called 'collinear holography,' Two laser rays, one blue-green and one red are used. The role of the blue-green laser is to read the data encoded in the form of laser interference fringes from the holographic layer. The red laser serves the purpose of a reference beam and also to read the servo info from the aluminum layer. Servo information is used to monitor the position of the read head over the disc

HVD Write System

A simplified HVD system consists of the following main components:

Blue or green laser (532-nm wavelength in the test system) Beam splitter/merger Mirrors Spatial light modulator (SLM) CMOS sensor Polymer recording medium

SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATOR (Slm)

4/22/12

Translates electronic data (0's and 1's) into optical pattern of light and dark pixels. Data is arranged in an array similar to

a checkerboard of usually 1M (million) bits. v By varying the angle of the reference beam, wavelength or media position, many holograms can be stored in the same volume of storage material.

HVD Read System

4/22/12

To read the data from an HVD: you need to retrieve the light pattern stored in the hologram. In the HVD read system, the laser projects a light beam onto the hologram that is identical to the reference beam. The hologram diffracts this beam according to the specific pattern of light interference it's storing. When this beam of light -- the reconstruction beam -bounces back off the disc it travels to the CMOS sensor (CCD) that reproduces the page data.

COMPONENTS needed for HVD READER

A blue-green argon laser Beam splitters to spilt the laser beams Mirrors to direct the laser beams LCD panels (spatial light modulator) Lenses to focus the laser beams Lithium- niobate crystals or photopolymers and Charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras.

Uses inorganic photorefractive crystals.

Electrons get photo-excited at the bright fringes diffuse or drift and are re-trapped at a dark fringe. Trapped charge can be rearranged by later illumination, so it is possible

to erase recorded holograms.

INTERESTING FACTS

4/22/12

It has been estimated that the books in the U.S. Library of Congress, the largest library in the world , could be stored on six HVDs. The pictures of every landmass on Earth - like the ones shown in Google Earth - can be stored on two HVDs. With MPEG4 ASP encoding, a HVD can hold anywhere between 4,600-11,900 hours of video, which is enough for non-stop playing for a year.

Advantages

4/22/12

High Storage capacity of 3.9 terabyte(TB) enables user to store large amount of data. Records high-definition television (HDTV) without any quality loss. Records one program while watching another on the disc. Edit or reorder programs recorded on the disc. Automatically search for an empty space on the disk to avoid recording over a program.

ADVANTAGES CONTINUED.
Backward compatible: Supports CDs and DVDs also. The transfer rate of HVD is up to 1 gigabyte (GB) per second which is 40 times faster than DVD . An HVD stores and retrieves an entire page of data approximately 60,000 bits of information, in one pulse of light, while a DVD stores and retrieves one bit of data in one pulse of light.
