Abstract

We have developed a method to use a half-size data page between two full-size data pages to increase the recording density in angular multiplexing holographic memory up to $1.5\times$ as much as the conventional angular multiplexing sequence. In our recording sequence, the full- and half-size data pages are alternately multiplexed. This is because each plane wave from various points in a data page has different angular selectivity. A half-size data page has higher angular selectivity than a full-size data page. The required angular intervals were estimated by numerical simulation taking holographic medium tilt into account. Also, an angular multiplexing experiment using the half-data-page insertion method resulted in a low bit error rate of the order of ${10}^{-3}$, which is sufficient for practical use.
