Yahoo: Cypress announced that it has partnered with InPhase Technologies in holographic data storage, to supply a CMOS image sensor solution for InPhase's Tapestry holographic data storage system.
Cypress and InPhase have collaborated since 2005 to develop a sensitive and fast CMOS image sensor to meet the high-speed reading of data recorded by InPhase's Tapestry drive. The Cypress CMOS imager features a digital interface and is sized with a pixel count of 1696 X 1710 and a pixel pitch of 8um. The imager enables data to be read at 500fps.
Holographic storage delivers high capacity by recording data throughout the volume of the recording material, and not just on the surface. With each flash of the laser, a data page of approximately 1 million bits is recorded. Each data page is located at a unique address within the material and several hundred pages of data, each with their own unique address, are recorded in the same location of the medium. Each of these collections of data pages is then referred to as a "book." This new recording technique enables more holograms to be stored in the same volume of material by overlapping not only pages, but also books of data. This dramatically increases the storage density.
