The objective of this research was to quantitatively | |
evaluate the concept of time-domain optical memory (TDOM) | |
using the hole-burning mechanism. The TDOM concept offers | |
both high speed and high memory density. The advantage of | |
TDOM over traditional semiconductor memory is its | |
inherent parallelism, which allows data to be stored and | |
retrieved from the memory at much higher speed. The | |
practical success of the proposed memory, therefore, | |
depends critically on-among other issues-the storage, | |
retrieval, and processing of images. In addition, new | |
data storage techniques are needed to implement a | |
practical memory. The last three years of this research | |
program have focused on (1) development of new phase | |
modulation techniques to enhance the storage, retrieval, | |
and integrity of the stored information; (2) experimental | |
studies of image storage and phase conjugate retrieval; | |
(3) Image processing; and (4) practical holographic | |
storage of images by using the hybrid time-frequency | |
approach. Specifically, SRI demonstrated data encryption | |
by phase modulating the read and write pulses. Image | |
correlation and convolution was demonstrated and its | |
implication for pattern recognition examined. Finally, | |
this laboratory demonstrated high- fidelity random access | |
and retrieval using holographic storage in Pr3+: YA103 | |
with a single-frequency ring laser. These experiments | |
have clearly demonstrated the practical viability of TDOM | |
with existing technology. In the next stage of the | |
research, the performance Issues such as bit-error-rates, | |
signal-to-noise ratios, and laser stability need to be | |
addressed. | |
