Two-Dimensional Equalization Using Bilinear Recursive Polynomial Model for Holographic Data Storage Systems

In this paper, we propose new two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear equalizers developed on the basis of a bilinear recursive polynomial (BRP) model for holographic data storage (HDS) systems. The 2D BRP equalizer (BRPE) and the 2D BRP decision feedback equalizer (BRPDFE) are proposed. The bit error rate (BER) performances of the proposed schemes are studied in the electrical-noise-dominant channel (ENDC) and the optical-noise-dominant channel (ONDC). The proposed schemes are compared with the conventional adaptive DFE and the partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) detector. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes outperform the adaptive DFE and the PRML detector. In particular, the BRPDFE shows the best BER performance in both the ENDC and the ONDC.
