Abstract
A package for a holographic storage media (10) is provided that utilizes a slide tray (43) for containing a plurality of slides (102). Each of the slides (102) is comprised of an opaque casing (110), which is operable to hold a sandwich structure (120). The sandwich structure (120) has a gripping mechanism (122) disposed on the edge thereof for allowing the structure (120) to be reciprocated within the jacket (110) for extraction thereof and reinsertion thereof. A gripping arm (156) is operable to attach to a gripping member (124) on a gripping mechanism (122) attached to the slide (102) to extract the slide (102) and place it into a holder (148). The holder (148) is then operable to receive the slide (102) and dispose it in a holographic storage system. The slide (102) can then be written to by interfering a data beam and a reference beam in a predetermined storage location (54) and then the slide again placed into the jacket (110).
