| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a method for performing pre- exposure and curing of a photo-sensitive material for optical data storage, in particular for holographic data storage, and to an apparatus for writing to optical storage media (10) using such method. According to the invention, for pre-exposure and/or curing of an optical storage medium (10) the optical storage medium (10) is illuminated by a coherent light beam (7, 8) emitted by a light source (2), which is also used for data recording. Pre-exposure and/or curing is performed in one or more exposure steps, in which the coherent light beam (7) carries a data pattern, the exposure dose for each exposure step being smaller than a minimum dose such that the diffraction efficiency of the recorded data pattern is too low to distinguish data from noise.</p> |
