Time‐frequency domain optical storage in rare‐earth‐doped materials

Ravinder Kachru, Yu Bai, Xiao‐An Shen

The storage of information in the time domain through the use of spectral hole burning rare‐earth‐doped crystals is described. The technique, which is also known as stimulated echo, makes serial read/write data rates of 100 MHz possible. Applications include high‐speed memory, signal processing, high‐speed optical switching, optical interconnects, image processing, and logic operations.

All-optical data rate conversion using coherent transient interactions

Summary form only given. Using photon echo processes a range of all-optical signal processing operations can be performed in inhomogeneously broadened materials. For example, all-optical devices for communication, such as optical bit-rate converters and routers and optical data storage devices and erasable memories with storage densities in the range of terabits/cm/sup 2/ have been proposed based on photon echo processes in rare-earth-ion-doped crystals.
