Holographic storage
By Francis Pelletier | May 15, 2025 at 10:28 amMicrosoft Technology Licensing, LLC, Redmond, WA, has been assigned a patent (12300289) developed by Chu; Jiaqi, Thomsen; Benn Charles, Narayanan; Dushyanth, and Rowstron; Antony Ian Taylor, Cambridge, Great Britain, for a “holographic storage.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A method of performing a write operation in a holographic data storage system, in which schedule schedules at least one write operation across multiple non-contiguous write intervals, the write operation pertaining to a set of data to be stored in a region of a holographic recording medium. In each of the non-contiguous write intervals, the region of the holographic recording medium is exposed to an interference pattern caused by interference between a reference beam and an input beam carrying the set of data. The multiple non-contiguous write intervals have a total aggregate duration of sufficient length to cause a persistent state change in the exposed region, such that the set of data is recoverable from that region by the end of a final write interval of the multiple non-contiguous write intervals.”
The patent application was filed on 2024-04-10 (18/631043).
