Abstract
Volume holographic memory [1–8] is becoming a promising candidate for future storage technologies owing to its unique capability to offer large capacity and parallel access. Multiple holograms can be recorded in a photorefractive crystal [1,7,8] sequentially by using an exposure schedule [9] that equalizes the amplitudes. Different reference beam angles, or wavelengths, or phase distributions can be chosen for different exposures: these techniques are known as angle multiplexing, wavelength multiplexing, and phase multiplexing respectively. In this chapter, we consider some fundamental issues in volume holographic storage in photorefractive media. These include the cross-talk noise [10–15], scattering noise [16,17], and noise gratings formed during a multiple exposure schedule [18,19]. These fundamental issues are related to the potentials and limitations of volume holographic storage.
