Abstract

From a single measurement of the signal-to-noise ratio of the image reconstructed from a hologram it is possible to estimate the information capacity of superimposed holograms and to predict the total number of superimposed holograms associated with the maximum information capacity. Information capacity densities of 3.7 × 10⁶ bits/mm³ for Bi₁₂ TiO₂₀ crystal samples and 2.3 × 10⁸ bits/mm³ for LiNbO₃ samples have been calculated.
