✦ Synopsis

Diffractive data recording was investigated during recent years mainly by using holography, on a large range of materials. Every material that can be light modulated has advantages and disadvantages. But none of the advantages identified for using these investigated materials allows an effective optimal use for standard high-capacity data storing.

We propose a new data recording method and process for data storage relying on the performances of doped protein material. We describe this material, its preparation and the storage process that we have validated experimentally. We demonstrated that data storage capacity can be effective on protein, opening stimulating perspectives. In this paper, we describe a way to operate analogic diffractive storage and retrieval.
