Abstract :
Optical data storage in volume holograms has been an exciting prospect for high data storage technology since the digital volume holographic storage system was demonstrated. Angle and wavelength-multiplexed recordings have excellent potential for a large storage capacity. Recently we developed a diode-pumped single-frequency and tunable Yb:YAG microchip laser. We demonstrate the angle and wavelength multiplexed recording by using the tunable intracavity frequency-doubled Yb:YAG green laser.
