Use of biphase-coded pulses for wideband data storage in time-domain optical memories

Abstract

We demonstrate that temporally long laser pulses with appropriate phase modulation can replace either temporally brief or frequency-chirped pulses in a time-domain optical memory to store and retrieve information. A 1.65-μs-long write pulse was biphase modulated according to the 13-bit Barker code for storing multiple bits of optical data into a Pr3+:YAlO3 crystal, and the stored information was later recalled faithfully by using a read pulse that was identical to the write pulse. Our results further show that the stored data cannot be retrieved faithfully if mismatched write and read pulses are used. This finding opens up the possibility of designing encrypted optical memories for secure data storage.
