Abstract

We consider the storage density limited by the cross talk between stored pages during readout. We review some earlier work done in this area and present new theoretical work that characterizes the storage capacity limitations due to the cross talk. The results show that because of the presence of degeneracy noise, storage capacity does not benefit from expanding the reference points from one dimension to two dimensions. An optimum configuration that fully utilizes storage capacity and completely eliminates degeneracy noise is given for an angularly multiplexed volume holographic memory system.
