Volume holography is currently the subject of widespread interest as a fast-readout-rate, high-capacity digital data-storage technology. However, due to the effect of cross-talk noise, scattering noise, noise gratings formed during a multiple exposure schedule, it brings a lot of burst errors and random errors in the system. Reed-Solomon error-correction codes have been widely used to protect digital data against errors. This paper presents VLSI implementations of an 16 errors correcting (255,223) Reed-Solomon decoder architecture for volume holographic storage. We describe the Reed-Solomon decoders using modified Euclidean algorithms which are regular and simple, and naturally suitable for VLSI implementations. We design the speedily multiplication for GF(28) and pipeline structure to solve hardware complexity and high data processing rate for the Reed-Solomon decoders. We adopt high speed FPGA and have a data processing rate of 200 Mbit/s.
