  • Holographic storage medium having enhanced temperature operating range and method of manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 6650447
    Abstract: A holographic storage medium, a method of manufacturing the holographic storage medium and a holographic storage device incorporating the storage medium. In one embodiment, the holographic storage medium includes: (1) first and second spaced-apart substrates, the first substrate being plastic and (2) a photopolymer core located between said first and second substrates and having a coefficient of thermal expansion such that said first and second substrates and said photopolymer core cooperate to respond substantially isotropically to a change in temperature.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 27, 2001
    Date of Patent: November 18, 2003
    Assignee: InPhase Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Kevin R. Curtis, Lisa Dhar, Melinda G. Schnoes
