Instead of recording data only on a surface, like a hard drive or optical disk, it stores many overlapping light patterns throughout the volume of the material, allowing much higher storage density and faster data transmission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn conventional holographic data storage, data encoding typically uses one light dimension such as amplitude or phase alone, or, at most, combines two of these dimensions,\u201d said research team leader Xiaodi Tan from Fujian Normal University in China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers have developed a holographic data storage approach that stores and retrieves information in three dimensions by combining three properties of light\u2014amplitude, phase and polarization.
