Abstract
The invention relates to the information storage. It consists of a computer, a precise rotary table, a writing laser source, a readout laser source, a spatial filter, a spatial light modulator, lens, mirrors, photorefractive crystals (such as doubly doped lithium niobate), and a phase-mismatch adjustor; Due to used a green light (532 nm) as the writing light, and a red light (670 nm) as the readout light, the signal-to-noise ratio is improved greatly and the problem of fixing the stored information is solved. The transmission configuration is used to realize the high-density digital storage in which the irregular lens is designed to work as a phase-mismatch adjustor and read out the whole stored image with no distortion and loss. The dynamically differential encoding and decoding technique is used to suppress the bit-error-rate to lower than 10−6.

5. A only-readable three-dimensional optical storage process, wherein said process include a writing procedure and a read-out procedure,
Said writing procedure includes following steps: -
(1) A storage file being encoded under the control of a computer to form an encoded two-dimensional pattern, which is output to a spatial light modulator (104), and a coded image or a storage image is formed by way of the spatial light modulator (104);
(2) A beam of green light from the laser source for green light being divided into two beams through a beam slitter (101);
one beam 1 passing through the spatial filter (102) and being collimated by the lens (103) to pass through the spatial light modulator (104) where it is modulated and to carry the information of the encoded image, and then it being reflected by the mirror (105) and is focused by the lens (106) upon the crystal (107);
another beam 2 is reflected by the mirror (108) and incident on the sample crystal (107) as a reference light;

Said readout procedure includes following steps;
(1) The sample being rotated to a needed angle by the rotary table controlled by a computer, and using a red light from the semiconductor laser as the read out light to pass the slit (201) first, and then through the phase-mismatch adjustor (202), to be incident on the crystal;
