Project description
Optical, opto-electronic, photonic functional components
Optical memories are one of the most promising data storage technologies, economically and technically. In 2002, around 500 million drives and 13 billion disks have been manufactured. Optical memories ideally combine media removability, random access and lowest media costs. However, the conventional bit-wise recording technologies are facing the basic diffraction limitation, which prevent to further increase the areal data density. A way to further boost the effective data density is volumetric storage, which is a unique feature of optics. Thanks to recent material and component technology advances, holographic data storage is now a viable solution to efficiently use the volume of a storage material. The objective of this project is to develop the technological basis for a new-generation, high-capacity, compact and cost-effective holographic data storage system. Specific key components such as laser sources, optical, opto-electronic components, electronics and media substrates will be developed.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
