Limits of the capacity and density of holographic storage

Abstract

Previous research assessing planar holographic storage and cross talk between volume multiplexed holograms is reviewed. Using these results, we derive equations for volume holographic storage density and capacity. These equations permit us to identify and to calculate the trade-off between storage density and input–output parallelism and the dependence of capacity on both the parallelism and the resolution of the input–output path.
