Abstract
Holographic data storage stores information in the form of volumetric gratings written inside the thick recording medium.1 Bragg selectivity of volumetric gratings allows writing large number of holograms within virtually the same physical location of the holographic medium through angular, wavelength, shift, or correlation multiplexing techniques. The promise for high bit density (~V/λ3) in holographic storage arises from the three dimensional, volumetric nature of the storage process, while highly parallel organization of the input data in the form of two-dimensional data pages provides a possibility for extremely high data transfer rates. In digital holographic data storage3 data modulation coding, data interleaving, and error correction are usually implemented in addition to conventional holography and multiplexing
