Abstract
The possibility of realizing an optical memory with photo-refractive crystals using dynamic refreshment via phase conjugation is discussed. The experimental realization is based on photorefractive barium titanate crystals. Series of refresh cycles, dependent on several parameters, are simulated numerically. It is shown that an extension of the storage time can be reached.
