SPATIAL-RESOLUTION AND DATA ADDRESSING OF FREQUENCY-DOMAIN OPTICAL STORAGE MATERIALS IN THE NEAR IR-REGIME

This paper reports recent advances in the study of Frequency domain optical storage (FDOS) based on the photochemical hole-burning (PHB) method. New PHB systems are introduced which operate in the near IR regime and are suitable for the use of semiconductor lasers. Furthermore experiments to determine the spatial resolution of the method are presented. Future applications will also be discussed.
