A new method for reducing the crosstalk noise in an angularly multiplexed volume holographic memory is presented. In this approach, each hologram is recorded with a plane wave as usual. Instead of using a single planar reference beam for reading each stored hologram, a composite beam is used which consists of multiple plane waves. Theoretical investigation shows that the crosstalktosignal ratio obtained by the proposed method is approximately 35 dB lower than that of the conventional case with a single plannar reading beam. In addition, the suggested method does not cause diffraction efficiency reduction either.
