Abstract
The design and the realization of an advanced precision optical test s tand for evaluating materials and developing tools and techniques for holographic digital data storage are described. This apparatus allows studies of holographic recording materials and recording physics to be performed in the context of practical data storage. The system concep t, its implementation, and its performance are described, and examples of holographic storage in photorefractive materials are discussed. (C ) 1996 Optical Society of America
