Holographic Data Storage - Terms Used

Terms Used

Sensitivity refers to the extent of refractive index modulation produced per unit of exposure. Diffraction efficiency is proportional to the square of the index modulation times the effective thickness.

The dynamic range determines how many holograms may be multiplexed in a single volume data.

Spatial light modulators (SLM) are pixelated input devices (liquid crystal panels), used to imprint the data to be stored on the object beam.

Famous quotes containing the word terms:

    Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight always; and when, after much loss on both sides, and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old questions, as to terms of intercourse, are again upon you.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    For my part, if a lie may do thee grace,
    I’ll gild it with the happiest terms I have.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
