A method of multiplexing holograms by rotating the material or, equiva
lently, the recording beams is described. Peristropic (Greek for rotat
ion) multiplexing can be combined with other multiplexing methods to i
ncrease the storage density of holographic storage systems. Peristroph
ic multiplexing is experimentally demonstrated with Du Pont's HRF-150
photopolymer film. We multiplexed a total of 295 holograms in a 38-mum
-thick photopolymer film by combining peristrophic multiplexing with a
ngle multiplexing.
