The loop conjugator can also be considered as an adaptive laser resonator with a holographic grating element formed by the self-intersecting beam. Such a system can produce output energy at least two orders of magnitude higher than a high-quality injecting pulse. 2, record 1, English, - holographic%20grating%20element

Holographic Versatile Disc(HVD) is an advanced optical disc technology still in the research stage which would greatly increase storage over Blu-ray and HD-DVD [high-definition digital versatile disc] optical disc systems. It employs a technique known as collinear holography, whereby two lasers, one red and one blue-green, are collimated in a single beam. These disks have the capacity to hold up to 3. 9 terabytes(TB) of information, which is approximately eighty times the capacity of Blu-ray Disc. 2, record 9, English, - holographic%20versatile%20disc

Le HVD est cependant toujours lu par un laser. Il s'agit d'un laser vert, ce qui permet d'envisager un hypothétique «HVD-bluray» balayé par un laser bleu et d'une capacité encore plus grande. 1, record 9, French, - disque%20holographique%20polyvalent
