Abstract
An encryption-selectable holographic storage algorithm with use of random phase encoding and angular multiplexing is proposed and demonstrated. The pattern for storage can be encrypted and multiplexed with use of a ground glass, which is also used to decrypt the pattern. A phase conjugation of the reference beam is used to generate phase conjugate waves of the stored patterns. The lateral shifting sensitivity of the ground glass used to decrypt the information is theoretically analyzed and is compared with experimental measurement. The shifting tolerance for various ground glasses under imperfection phase reconstruction in the decryption processing is studied.
