A Seminar On Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) : Presented By: Shwetank Sharma CS (IV Year)

This document presents information about Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) technology. HVD uses holography to store up to 3.9 terabytes of data on an optical disc, far surpassing the storage of existing formats like DVDs. HVD records patterns of light as holograms in a photo polymeric layer to store data three-dimensionally. Advantages include high storage capacity, ability to record and playback simultaneously, and editing capabilities. HVD is expected to replace DVDs as the next generation optical disc standard.

Need Of HVD
 Multimedia - a single minute of compressed
video takes up to 12 Mbytes

 Data Warehouses - large corporations’


warehouses now taking more than 2 Tbytes

 World Wide Web - one vendor’s high-end


Web server packs 128 Gbytes of disk

 In Hospitals Multi slice CAT scan: 500MB


Cardiac video: 3GB
Optical Disc Technology
0.7 GB 9 GB 30~50 GB

What is next ?
The Answer is:
Holographic Versatile disc
What is HVD ?

 Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) is an optical disc technology which


would hold up to 3.9 terabytes (TB) of information .

 An HVD is an advanced optical disk that’s presently in the


development stage. Polaroid scientist J van Heerden was the first to
come up with the idea for holographic three-dimensional storage in
1960.

 Holographic memory systems have been around for decades. They


offer far more storage capacity than CDs and DVDs -- even "next-
generation" DVDs like Blu-ray -- and their transfer rates leave
conventional discs in the dust.

Basics of Holographic Disk

 The first step in understanding holographic


disk is to understand what "holographic"
means. Holography is a method of recording
patterns of light to produce a three-
dimensional object.

 The recorded patterns of light are called a


hologram.
HVD Structure
 Green writing/reading laser (532 nm)
 Red positioning/addressing laser (650 nm)
 Hologram (data)
 Polycarbon layer
 Photo polymeric layer (data-containing layer)
 Distance layers
 Dichotic layer (reflecting green light)
 Aluminum reflective layer (reflecting red light)

Advantages
 High Storage capacity of 3.9 terabyte(TB)
enables user to store large amount of data.
 Records one program while watching
another on the disc.
 Edit or reorder programs recorded on the
disc.
 Automatically search for an empty space on
the disc to avoid recording over a program.
Comparison
Conclusion
 HVD will soon replace previous DVDs.
 It is currently supported by more than 170 of
the world's leading consumer electronics,
personal computer, recording media, video
game and music companies.
 The format also has broad support from the
major movie studios as a successor to
today's DVD format.
