Abstract

Photon echoes, which belong among a class of nonlinear optical wave mixing phenomena, are finding increasing interest in terms of fast optical storage and processing, both dynamic as well as long-term [1].

Storage and associative recall of images by stimulated photon echoes

Yong R. Kim

The photon echo is unique among nonlinear optical effects in that it involves interference and diffraction in both space and time domain. This intrinsic spatio-temporal property offers multitude of interesting and useful applications in optical storage and processing of temporally as well as spatially encoded data. In this paper we consider the possibility of using stimulated photon echo (SPE) to implement all-optical associative memory of spatial data.

Electronic simulation of the temporal characteristics of photon memory echoes and some related applications

Yu-Wen Kuo, Monish R. Chatterjee

The characteristics of nonlinear photon memory echoes are investigated by means of SPICE simulations using equivalent resonator ensembles. By developing implicit nonlinear circuit models in the memory echo domain, the triple product formalism of electronic holography, involving correlation and convolution, is tested for the storage and recall of arbitrary signals and/or data bit streams in both time-inverted and nontime-inverted modes. Furthermore, a few specific optical data processing applications are also simulated in which the mixed binary multiplication of two or more binary bit streams is achieved. Higher order products, optical pattern recognition, and other possible applications are also discussed. It is shown that much insight into the nature and scope of optical photon echoes as memory storage phenomena may be derived using the electronic simulation technique.

Noise modelling of a photon echo memory in the frequency domain

Jin Y. Choi, John F. Walkup, Thomas F. Krile +1 more

Time-domain optical data storage using photon echoes has received increasing attention in recent years. A particularly attractive feature of a time domain memory is the ability to store many bits of information in a very small spot and thereby increase the data storage density. In time domain memory based on photon echoes, the Fourier transform of the input data is written into the inhomogeneous linewidth.

Optical Memory Using Resonant Raman Pulse Excited Spin Echoes

Byoung Seung HAM, M. S. Shahriar, M. K. Kim +1 more

Optical data storage has been interested in several decades because of the potential of fast access time and high-density storage. Recently volume holographic data storage technique has drawn much interest as new materials and improved techniques have developed.1 However, the large of hologram storage is restricted by low diffraction efficiency and mainly focused to read only memory because of the material's characteristic difficult to rewrite in short time interval. Another optical memory technique (photon echo optical memory)2 based on time-domain has developed since 1980's and made big progress for the area of real time image processing and dynamic random access memory. In this technique, data pulses interfere with timely separated write pulse (reference), and their interference pattern is written as population gratings. A read pulse (reference) retrieves each data pulse information as a four-wave mixing process. The write and read pulse separations are restricted by phase and population decay times of the material, respectively, and storage density is determined by the ratio of inhomogeneous to homogeneous linewidths. Even though photon echo technique has advantages of fast access time (≥ ns) and high-density (≥ Mbits/laser spot), its operating temperature is kept extremely low around liquid helium temperature. This is because that homogeneous decay time rapidly shortens as temperature increases due to phonon interactions, i.e., the ratio of inhomogeneous to homogeneous decay rates is ~ 1 at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) in a rare-earth doped solid, so that restricts its applications.
