Abstract

We analyze the unique statistics of complex amplitude noise in holographic data storage and determine the corresponding bit-error rate. Explicit expressions of the signal-to-noise ratio, the threshold value that distinguishes binary bits, and the bit-error rate are obtained analytically. Comparison between the analytical approximations and the direct numerical evaluations shows that the analytical expressions have excellent accuracy.
