Tilt measurement and compensation algorithm for holographic data storage with optimized quadratic windows

Abstract

In holographic data storage, tilt is one of the critical disturbances. There are two types of tilt: tangential and radial. In real systems, tangential and radial tilt occur simultaneously. Thus, it is difficult to measure and compensate for tilt. In this study, using a quadratic window, which compares the intensity of a certain area, a tilt error signal was generated and compensated for with the proposed algorithm. The compensated image obtained satisfied a 0.3 dB tolerance.
