Intensity profile correction for data pages for holographic storageThe present invention relates to a method for recording data pages in a holographic recording medium, and more specifically to a method for compensating for sensitivity variations of the holographic material of the holographic recording medium. According to the invention, a method for recording data pages on a holographic recording medium has the steps of:modulating a light beam with a spatial light modulator to generate a data page with data to be recorded, andapplying a compensation profile to the data pages during recording for reducing contrast variations in the reconstructed data pages, wherein the compensation profile is determined from the irradiation history at the recording position and the sensitivity curve of the material of the holographic recording medium.

The present invention relates to a method for calibrating a holographic storage system, and to an apparatus for reading from and/or writing to holographic storage media and a holographic storage medium suitable for such method. According to the invention, the method has the steps of: sending a set of test data pages through at least part of the holographic storage system; receiving a set of transmitted test data pages with a detector; comparing the set of transmitted test data pages with the set of sent test data pages; and correcting parameter variations of the holographic storage system based on the results of the comparing step.

A data page for optical data storage for an optical storage system, i.e. a holographic storage system, is presented. The data page includes one or more areas, which are less sensitive against a movement of the data page in a movement direction of the storage medium. A holographic storage medium comprising such data pages is presented. An apparatus for reading from and/or writing to an optical medium comprising such data pages, and to a method for reading and/or writing such data pages is presented.

The present invention relates to a method for compensating for a wavelength mismatch between a readout reference beam and a recording reference beam in a holographic storage system, and to a holographic storage system implementing the method.According to the invention, the wavelength mismatch is determined and the direction of at least part of the readout reference beam relative to a holographic storage medium is adjusted in dependence on the determined wavelength mismatch by defocusing the readout reference beam or by adjusting the focal length of an objective lens for focusing the readout reference beam into the holographic storage medium.

An apparatus for reading from or writing to a near-field optical recording medium capable of detecting tilt and spherical aberration is described. The apparatus comprises a light source for generating a reading light beam, a near-field lens, an aberration compensation element, and a diffractive optical element. The diffractive optical element is switchable between a far-field mode and a near-field mode and is adapted to generate a main light beam and four or more sub-beams from the reading light beam for determining at least a cover layer thickness error signal. For this purpose it has an outer region with a first grating period and an inner region having a diameter smaller than an effective numerical aperture of the near-field lens, which in the near-field mode has a second grating period and which has a switchable inner area having a diameter smaller than a far-field numerical aperture of the near-field lens, which in the far-field mode has the first grating period. The aberration compensation element is adapted to be adjusted based on the thickness error signal when the diffractive optical element is in the near-field mode.

A holographic storage system having an improved data page quality is described. The holographic storage system includes a special optical filter or a special light source for emphasizing the high frequency components of a reference beam and/or an object beam. This is achieved by an optical filter arranged in a Fourier plane, which has a higher attenuation at the center than at the edge. Alternatively, an adapted light source for generating the reference beam and/or the object beam is arranged in a Fourier plane. The light beam emitted by the light source has a higher intensity close to the edge than at the center.
