Method For Determining Media Orientation And Required Temperature Compensation In Page-Based Holographic Data Storage Systems Using Data Page Bragg Detuning Measurements
US Patent:
7773276, Aug 10, 2010
Filed:
Mar 6, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/714125
Inventors:
Alan Hoskins - Golden CO, US
Adrian Hill - Lyons CO, US
Adrian Hill - Lyons CO, US
Assignee:
Inphase Technologies, inc. - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G03H 1/22
US Classification:
359 32
Abstract:
Methods and systems for calculating a wavelength to use for a reference beam in recovering data from a holographic storage medium along with calculating a rotation and a tilt for the storage medium in data recovery. These systems and method include determining intensity levels for a plurality of windows (or subsets of pixels) for a data page as the angle of the reference beam is adjusted. The angles corresponding to the angles where the maximum intensity of light is detected for each window is then used in determining the wavelength, tilt, and rotation in recovering subsequent data pages from the holographic storage medium.
Use Of Feedback Error And/Or Feed-Forward Signals To Adjust Control Axes To Optimal Recovery Position Of Hologram In Holographic Data Storage System Or Device

International Classification:
G11B 7/00
US Classification:
369103, 369 4432, 369 4413
Abstract:
A method for adjusting at least one alignment control axis of a holographic data storage system or device to or towards a sufficiently optimal recovery position for recovery of a hologram based on a derived feedback error signal and/or a derived feed-forward signal. For the next hologram in the sequence, the derived feedback error signal estimates the direction and magnitude of misalignment of the at least one alignment control axis for one or more previously recovered holograms based on alignment-indicating data. The derived feed-forward signal estimates an optimal alignment value for the at least one alignment control axis for one or more holograms based on recording and recovery operating condition data for the holograms. An iterative alignment procedure may also be used to derive a feedback error signal for one hologram.

International Classification:
G03H 1/16
US Classification:
359 29
Abstract:
A new type of FT lens is provided that improves phase conjugation in holographic data systems. This type of FT lens has a uniquely large isoplanatic patch. This enables relaxed assembly tolerances, asymmetric reader/writer architectures, and compensation for tilted plate aberrations in the media.

International Classification:
G02B 5/32, G03H 1/00
US Classification:
359 15, 359 19, 359 30
Abstract:
Holographic systems which shape coherent light beams are disclosed. These holographic systems may beam-shaping devices positioned in the path of coherent light beams to shape a coherent light beam into an essentially diffraction noise free coherent light beam of predetermined dimensions that has a continuous light beam profile of distinct intensity zones.
Processing Data Pixels In A Holographic Data Storage System
US Patent:

International Classification:
G06K 9/32, G06K 9/36
US Classification:
382294, 382287
Abstract:
A method for processing data pixels in a holographic data storage system is disclosed. The method includes assigning predetermined reserved blocks throughout each data page, where each reserved block comprises known pixel patterns, determining position errors of the data page by computing the best match between regions of the data page and the predetermined reserved blocks, and compensating the data pixels at the detector in accordance with the corresponding position errors of the data page.
