When target densities of volume holographic data storage systems are increased, the systems experience increased interference from adjacent pixels and noise. Here we present a method for designing and applying linear minimum mean-squared-error (LMMSE) equalization to improve the bit error rates (BER's) and hence the storage densities achievable. Numerical results with five defocused data pages indicate that a significant improvement in the BER is possible with LMMSE equalization.
