InPhase Overview

MissionRevolutionize the removable storage industry by becoming the underlying drive and media technology for high capacity, rapid access, low cost storage.

Milestones

2001 InPhase established (Bell Labs spin-off)

2002 Primary supplier of holographic media to the world’s major optical drive companies

2002 World’s first demonstration of digital holographic video record & playback at National Association of Broadcasters show

2003 World’s first blue-wavelength holographic material developed & introduced to market

2004 World’s first re-writable holographic material developed and demonstrated

2004 World’s first integrated holographic drive prototype completed

2006 World’s first introduction of a commercial holographic data storage system, Tapestry HDS-200R drive and media

Magnetic and existing optical are susceptible to dust, scratches

Magnetic is susceptible to head crashes due to flying height of head

TapestryTM Holographic Data Storage - a new paradigm

Why Holographic Data Storage?

High Capacity & Performance– Volumetric recording vs surface recording– Parallel records and reads( ~1 mb) vs serial (1 bit)

Low Cost– Lowest cost per gigabyte for storage

Long Archival Life

– 50 years– Very tolerant to dust, scratches, and surface defects– No special handling required

Robust Content Protection & Security– Multi-layer security options for media and drive

Broad Design Flexibility– Any format factor possible – cards, disk, etc..

InPhase Breakthroughs

Required Components Past Problems InPhase Breakthroughs

Recording material Commercially viable materials

that had high density and were

manufacturable did not exist

2 Chemistry Media For manufacturing properties For recording properties

High Volume Manufacturing Optically flat media expensive to

manufacture. ZeroWave™ mfg process

Low cost DVD like process

Recording Methods Complex with limited densities. Patented recording methods that enable high density

Channels and error correction

codesSerial storage channels. Developed modulation, coding,

and filtering for robustness and capacity.

Environmental stability Changes to Media volume caused by temperature sensitivity.

Methodology that allows wide operating temperature ( ± 30°C)

A Page is an array of 1.3 million bits stored as a single hologram

A BookIs a stack of pages located in the same volume.

each with a unique angular address.

Book1 Book2 Book3

Physical View• Physically each page (hologram) takes the whole volume of the book

• The thickness of the recording layer allows each page to be read out and stored uniquely by changing the reference beam angle for each page.

Recording material is ~1.5 mm thick
