Abstract
Cloud data storage needs high capacity at low cost and high access rates. Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are dominant but face declining access rates and capacity scaling slowdown. Holographic data storage offers potential disruption due to high capacity and access rates, but data durability is a challenge. This research presents an energy optimization framework addressing data erasure in rewritable holographic media, investigating optimal Fe concentrations in iron-doped lithium niobate and achieving record reads and density. The framework objectively assesses holographic storage feasibility.
