The problems of holographic information recording and storage: modern state

Abstract

In connection with 60th anniversary of new optical division - holography - the significant changes are considered which occurred due to holography in the area of recording and storage of information carrying by light. New recording media are discovered, and some old recording media are significantly improved, new recording methods of light information recording and storage are proposed. It is noted that despite the prominent achievements, a very wide work regarding holographic information recording and storage media and methods lies ahead in order to realize the possibilities of holography more completely.
