Abstract
Holographic storage hardware enabled locking includes directing a first reference beam associated with a first process at a storage location in a holographic data storage medium, and detecting, with a detector while the first reference beam is directed at the storage location, whether a second reference beam associated with a second process is also directed at the storage location. Based on the detecting, a signal is generated indicating whether the storage location is locked.
