Multiplexed holographic data page storage on a polyvinyl alcohol/acrylamide photopolymer memory

Appl Opt. 2008 Sep 1;47(25):4448-56. doi: 10.1364/ao.47.004448.

Abstract

Holographic data pages were multiplexed in different thickness layers of a polyvinyl alcohol/acrylamide photopolymer. This material is formed of acrylamide photopolymers, which are considered interesting materials for recording holographic memories. A liquid crystal device was used to modify the object beam and store the data pages. A peristrophic multiplexing method is used to store a large number of data pages in the same spot in the material. The bit error rate was calculated fitting the histograms of the images to determine what parameters improve the quality of the images.
