In this paper, we investigate the confocal filter for high quality reading signal of micro holographic data storage system. The confocal filter is used to remove crosstalk effects of adjacent recording-layer by multi-layer multiplexing method. To remove a noise of reading signal, we consider size and geometrical structure of filter. From the obtained results, we present optical characteristics including Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction effects. Finally, we propose the optimal confocal filter for good image quality and increased reflection power.
