Abstract

In this invited paper we discuss recent advances in holographic data storage using ferroelectric SBN fibers as the recording medium. An optical architecture involving an array of SBN fibers is discussed that potentially allows 2-3 orders of magnitude faster access times than for conventional magnetic data storage devices of Gbyte-size . To realize this potential we are studying the interplay between fundamental materials issues related to fiber growth and photorefractive processes underlying storage and readout processes in SBN.
