Large Scale Spectral Hole Burning Memory in Organic Materials

Abstract

Spectral hole burning is one special holographic technology, which requires to cool down the holographic material down to liquid helium temperature -270 degree of Celsius. However, it can record and generate very fast optical light pulse series and their interaction. Spectral hole burning is of critical interests for fast data storage and optical information processing. This work would be used to evaluate and study the general properties of the materials used for these application. This research is sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under grant# F49620-99-1-0258.
