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 ofmore » 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.

In previous investigations of optical data storage in persistent spectral-hole-burning materials, either the spectral or the temporal positions of the data were used as memory addresses. We suggest having the address represented by the spectral shape of the writing field and retrieving information with the aid of pattern recognition of this spectral shape. This procedure is expected to accelerate access to the stored data. To evaluate the validity of the method, we consider various physical effects that may give rise to cross talk among the different addresses. A numerical simulation under realistic conditions is presented.
