We believe the substantial advances in recording media, recording methods, and the demonstrated densities of >30 channel Gbits/in2 described here coupled with the recent commercial availability of system components remove many of the obstacles that previously prevented the practical consideration of holographic data storage and greatly enhance the prospects for holography to become a next-generation storage technology.
Bell Labs has recently entered into an agreement with Imation Corporation, one of the leading data storage companies, to jointly further develop our work in holographic data storage. We are currently working with the Lucent Technologies New Ventures Group to explore avenues that would lead to commercialization of the technology
