A company known as Optware has debuted a holographic storage prototype which they expect to release in a retail version by 2006. The device uses “polarized collinear holography” that coordinates both blue-violet and red lasers in combination to record between 200 to 300GB of data on a single 12cm disc. I wonder how similar this is to Sony’s new blue-violet laser-based Professional Disc for DATA. Thanks, Justin!
