<p>Data is written, stored in the optical memory device and read out in optical form without any conversion to electronics. The functions performed such as readout, reset and the like can be via electronic means, optical means, or a combination of both. The inherent bistability/hysteresis which is required for the memory function is obtained with a laser structure which includes a saturable absorber and, as a portion of the cavity, a waveguide.</p> |
