Photochromic Memory for Computer Applications.
Abstract
Research was directed toward the development of a high speed, high density, random access, read-write optical memory system. The memory system is based upon the stable yet optically reversible changes in the polarizing properties of M sub A color centers in Potassium Chloride crystals. The accomplishments reported for this initial one year period are classified into the following three main categories: (1) The perfection of techniques for preparing M sub A centers in the crystals, (2) The design and construction of an experimental random access memory system, and (3) The development of a reliable read-out technique that provides an output signal with a good signal to noise ratio.
