Abstract :
We discuss the statistical properties of the polymer grating strength fluctuations due to postrecording distortions in holographic digital data storage (HDDS). The present study further provides a formalism for incorporating signal noise in the analysis of a HDDS system, and for evaluating, in a unified framework, the system performance characteristics
