Area of Science:

Optics and Photonics
Information Storage

Background:

Holographic data storage offers high density.
Multiplexing techniques are crucial for increasing storage capacity.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel multiplexing technique called coded-wavelength multiplex holography.
To enhance the data storage capacity of holographic systems.

Main Methods:

Encoding each wavelength with a discrete angular spectrum of plane waves.
Utilizing grating degeneracy for image assembly and multiplexing.

Main Results:

Achieved a multiplexing capacity equal to the product of the number of wavelengths and discrete wave vectors.
Demonstrated the ability to assemble images from smaller components and multiplex them across different wavelengths.

Conclusions:

Coded-wavelength multiplex holography offers a scalable approach to increase holographic data storage.
The technique leverages wave vector properties for enhanced multiplexing capabilities.
