多维调制全息数据存储研究进展

大数据时代对数据存储提出了新的要求,为克服目前存储技术无法逾越的障碍,全息存储回到人们的视野,为了解决传统全息存储的记录密度与理论值相差较大的问题,本文作者团队提出了将光的振幅、相位和偏振均作为调制变量的多维调制全息数据存储技术;为验证多维调制的实验结果,针对具有偏振响应的全息存储材料特性提高方面也开展了研究。这些研究成果加速了全息存储技术应用的产业化步伐。本文以该团队在北京理工大学期间开展的多维调制全息数据存储技术的研究成果为基础,分别从光的振幅、相位和偏振调制机理出发,综述了各个调制方法的理论基础和应用实例,以及提高全息存储材料性能的有效手段,最后进行了总结和展望。     

Four-level phase pair encoding and decoding with single interferometric phase retrieval for holographic data storage

We propose four-level phase pair encoding and decoding with single interferometric phase retrieval for holographic data storage. Inherent with phase pair encoding, phase shifting is generated by assigning a certain phase difference between two pixels of the phase pair. Multiple phase shifting operations are not required. In addition, a phase-readout reference beam can be a plane beam with an arbitrary phase in our method because phase shifting can be encoded on the phase-only spatial light modulator easily and accurately. Therefore, our method can not only increase the data transfer rate, but also improve the robustness of the holographic data storage system.Although the code rate of our method needs to be sacrificed by half, the code rate is still twice that of amplitude code when four-level phase encoding is used. We demonstrated experimentally that there is only a 1 × 10~(-2) order of bit error rate before error correcting, which is acceptable. We believe our method will further advance the phase-modulated holographic data storage technique.
