Abstract
Digital holographic data storage is becoming increasingly important because of its potential for optical memory systems with high storage density and fast parallel access. One of the important parameters of a digital system is its accuracy, which is usually characterized in terms of bit-error-rate (BER) defined as the probability of error for each bit. To determine the BER of a holographic storage system, one needs to know the statistics of the noise. There are several noise sources including cross-talk noise, scattering noise, shot noise, and thermal noise from the detector, etc. In this paper, we will concentrate on the discussion of the statistics of the cross-talk noise.
