Information theoretic limits to the capacity of volume holographic optical memory.

چکیده
We derive the information theoretic limit to storage capacity in volume holographic optical memories for the limiting cases of dominant intensity noise (Gaussian noise) and dominant field noise (Rician noise). These capacity bounds are compared with the performance achievable using simple Reed-Solomon error-correcting codes.

Optical memory: introduction by the feature editors.
The information age has brought with it an everincreasing demand for storage systems that have high capacity, fast data-transfer rate, and short access time. Vast memory systems are required for supporting the many storage-intensive computer applications such as multimedia, video on demand, and network-based computing. Optical memories already play an important role in existing commercial syste...
متن کاملInformation content of volume holographic imaging.
We discuss the general properties of optical imaging in three-dimensional object domains from an information-theoretic standpoint, expressing system performance in terms of imaging mutual information (IMI). We use IMI to characterize volume holographic imaging, a new optical imaging method with depth discrimination capability. The performance of this holographic method in imaging a simple discr...
متن کاملLow-density parity-check codes for volume holographic memory systems.
We investigate the application of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes in volume holographic memory (VHM) systems. We show that a carefully designed irregular LDPC code has a very good performance in VHM systems. We optimize high-rate LDPC codes for the nonuniform error pattern in holographic memories to reduce the bit error rate extensively. The prior knowledge of noise distribution is used f...
متن کاملHigh-Performance, Nondiffusive Crosslinked Polymers for Holographic Data Storage
Research into the development of new data-storage strategies is fueled by the continuing demand for ultrahigh information capacity, increased data density, smaller form factor, and faster readout rates. Conventional data-storage devices such as magnetic hard-disk drives, optical disks, and semiconductor memories all rely on storing information bit by bit on the surface of a recording medium. Ho...
متن کاملReview of Random Phase Encoding in Volume Holographic Storage
Random phase encoding is a unique technique for volume hologram which can be applied to various applications such as holographic multiplexing storage, image encryption, and optical sensing. In this review article, we first review and discuss diffraction selectivity of random phase encoding in volume holograms, which is the most important parameter related to multiplexing capacity of volume holo...
