There are two important trends in the modern information society, including digital networking and ubiquitous environment. Thus it is strongly required to develop new information storage devices such as high density storages to match the increased data capacity and small size storage devices to be applied to the mobile multimedia electronics. So far, many approaches have been studied for the high density memory, including the holographic memory, super-RENS and near-field recording using solid immersion lens (SIL) or nano-probe for the ODD (Optical Disk Drive) system, and the perpendicular magnetic recording and heat-assisted magnetic recording for the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) system. In addition, new mobile storage devices have been prepared using 0.85" HDD and 30mm ODD systems from a lot of foreign and domestic companies and institutes. In this paper, the recent technology trend for the next generation information storage system is summarized to offer a research motivation and encouragement to new researchers in this field with an emphasis on the technical issues of the increase of data capacity and decrease of device size.

In volume holographic memory (VHM), two-dimensional data array (i.e. data page) is used for the recording and the retrieving process with the aid of spatial light modulator (SLM) and CCD camera. Due to this two-dimensional parallel data processing, burst errors in this system also have two-dimensional characteristics in a data page domain. In this paper, we present a channel model of the burst noise and burst error for the VHM system using disk type recording media. (omitted)

정보, 전산 산업의 발달이 급속하게 이루어짐에 따라 필연적으로 정보의 저장 및 입출력에 관계된 정보저장장치는 용량의 대량화, 입출력 속도의 고속화가 요구된다. 홀로그램을 이용한 정보저장장치는 데이터의 기록·재생의 원리상 체적 홀로그램의 원리를 이용하여 한 점에 대량의 면정보를 저장할 수 있는 페이지 지향적인 메모리(Page-oriented Memory)로써 입출력 방식으로 병렬 데이터 처리방식을 사용하므로 근본적으로 입출력 속도를 초고속화 할 수가 있으며, 기계적인 구동 부를 배제한 시스템이 가능하므로 데이터 접근 시간도 매우 빠르게 할 수 있다.

We studied a localized hologram recording method that can be used in a disk-shaped medium. In this method, the reference beam is focused by use of a cylindrical lens to get a thin spot in the medium, and then a hologram is recorded in that spot by illuminating the signal beam. Many localized holograms are multiplexed by shifting the medium by a distance more than the thin spot size of the reference beam. This method does not need recording-time scheduling for uniform diffraction efficiencies. We show that a minimal required thickness of the recording medium exists for a given spot size of the signal beam. We performed experiments for data storage and retrieval, and obtained a storage density of 20 bits/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$ and a raw-bit error rate (RBER) of 2.5${\times}$10$^{-3}$ , when a 2 mm-thick Fe-doped LiNbO$_3$ crystal was used.
