Popis: A novel secure data storage architecture based on phase-encoded, thin film, Fourier-type polarization holograms is reported. Efficient data encryption and verification can be obtained by phase modulation of the reference wave introduced by a phase-type spatial light modulator that is imaged onto the hologram plane. A physical model is formulated including phase-encoding, non-linear storage medium behaviour and features of the proposed optical system. A method is proposed and implemented in the form of a custom modelling tool for generating code sets optimal in terms of code number and security level. The utility of the architecture and the achievable security level are experimentally demonstrated.
