Abstract
We derive the information theoretic limit to storage capacity in volum e holographic optical memories for the limiting eases of dominant inte nsity noise (Gaussian noise) and dominant field noise (Rician noise). These capacity bounds are compared with the performance achievable usi ng simple Reed-Solomon error-correcting codes. (C) 1997 Optical Societ y of America
