Abstract: The invention discloses a holographic multiplex recording method, which combines technical advantages of angle multiplexing and shift multiplexing, and improves capacity and stability of a system. A medium contracts and expands due to environmental temperature fluctuations, which causes broken Bragg condition. However, the angle multiplexing has the advantages that the broken Bragg condition caused by contraction and expansion of the medium can be corrected by controlling an incident angle of a reference beam and an emitting wavelength of a laser, and the problem of a weak reproduction signal caused by the environmental temperature fluctuations is solved. On the other hand, the advantages of shift multiplex recording are that cross-write noise is not accumulated and that a multiplexing number can be improved by using a cross-shift multiplex method. According to the present invention, a large-capacity recording device with high stability is realized by combining the two technologies.

Abstract: According to a positioning method for a hologram in a disk-type holographic storage medium, a guide groove is formed in advance in the disk-type storage medium and is scribed with a positioning marker that includes index information, position information and crossing angle information. The positions of a positioning laser beam and a recording/reproducing laser beam are applied to the same medium position.

According to the method, the position and angular information can be quickly positioned in process of performing cross-shift multiplex recording/reading, the recording/reading speed of the system is improved, and random access is achieved.

Abstract: A holographic multiplexed recording method for increasing storage capacity is disclosed. In a holographic recording and reproducing device, the moving direction of a storage medium is not coplanar with the plane where the optical axes of signal light and reference light are located, or the relative moving direction of the storage medium and the signal light or the reference light is not coplanar with the plane where the optical axes of the signal light and the reference light are located. Through the method, a certain angle exists between the grating vector direction and the moving direction or the relative moving direction, so that the phenomenon that the grating vector directions are the same does not occur when the medium is subjected to multiplexed recording after being rotated or flipped. Not only is multiplexing number increased, but also crosstalk caused by the same grating vector direction is prevented.
