摘要

System and method for providing gain and thresholding to a holographic data parallel recording and replication system incorporating independent angular address assignment. A plurality of information bearing light beams in an information bearing light beam arm of a data recording system and a plurality of reference light beams in a reference light beam arm of the data recording system are mutually interfered to store a plurality of spatially separate, spatially modulated light intensity patterns in a holographic data storage medium in a data recording operation. During the data recording operation, the plurality of information bearing light beams are repeatedly circulated through the holographic data storage medium using a resonant cavity formed along the information bearing light beam arm of the holographic recording system.
