대용량의 정보를 고속으로 처리하는데 있어서 기존의 전자소자 성능은 제한이 있기 때문에 광소자의 개발과 그 응용에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 광쌍안정 소자는 파장 변환기, 광클럭 발생기, 광신호 재생기, 광논리소자, 광메모리 등의 광 기능소자에 이용될 수 있다. 광쌍안정 소자는 매질의 비선형 특성과 궤환 구조를 필요로 하며, 주요 메커니즘에 따라 흡수형 광쌍안정 소자와 분산형 광쌍안정 소자로 구별된다. (중략)

The structural changes of the merocyanine monolayer LB (Langmuir Blodgett) films were investigated. These changes were compared with the typical changes of the molecular structures of merocyanine solutions. The structural changes of quinoid/benzenoid were attained by exposure to atmosphere gases (HCl gas, N $H_{3}$ gas). The photoisomerization was not observed for the monolayer LB film due to their state of $M_{trans}$. But we could obtain the cis/trans photoisomerization characteristics reversibly, after the films were changed to M $H^{+}$$_{trans}$ structure by exposure to HCl gas. We also found that the cis/trans photoisomerization of the LB monolayer films show the memory characteristics.s.

최근 홀로그래픽 데이터 저장 국제 워크샵(International Workshop on Holographic Data Storage)에서 발표된 자료에 따르면 광메모리 데모 시스템들의 저장 용량이 100MB~150GB에 달하고 있으며, page당 용량은 1백만 비트(1000$\times$1000 bits)이상, 데이터 전송 속도는 1Gbit/sec에 이르고 있다. 반면에 현재까지는 상용화 단계의 시스템은 발표되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이들 시스템과 성능 차이는 많이 나지만 그 동안의 광굴절 결정의 특성 실험결과와 각각의 광학 시스템의 연구 결과들을 토대로 디지털 데이터를 기록하고 재생할 수 있는 초기 자동화된 데모 시스템을 구현하였다.

In this study, PLZT stock solutions were prepared by Sol-Gel processing after the compositions were selected in the memory region of PLZT bulk phase diagram. PLZT solutions were deposited on the ITO glass substrate by spin-coating method. The thin films were annealed by rapid thermal processing. The electric characteristics, hysteresis loop, C-V characteristics of thin films in the memory region were measured in order to investigate the electrical characteristics of PLZT thin films. In selected compositions the decrease in Zr/Ti ratio led to an increase in dielectric constant and the decrease in remanent polarization and coercieve field which brought about slim hysteresis loop.

Here are proposed the tunable laser for optical memory which uses the acousto-optic deflector. This laser includes the acousto-optic deflector in the Littrow mount configuration so that we may control the beam deflection by means of the induced RF. Consequently, we can achieve the higher speed and accuracy to compare with the Littrow monut configuration only.

Computer simulations of the recording and reading of holograms in an 8-bit phase-code multiplexing system are presented. From the computer simulation each recording time of eight holograms is obtained such that the strength of restored holograms is same. An analytic formula to predict the recording times is derived by fitting the formula to the computer simulation data. It is found that our analytic formula can predict the hologram recording time not only in 8-bit system but also in 16-bit and 32-bit systems in an error less than $\pm$8.4%. Optical experiments are also performed in a 4-bit phase code-multiplexing system. It is found that the strength of the restored holograms is more uniform compared with conventional methods.

We studied feasibility of three-dimensional optical memory by utilizing femtosecond laser-induced changes of transmission in photopolymers and photoluminescence in Eu and Sm ion doped sodium borate glasses. We produced transmission change by two photon absorption and obtained sub-Um size spots in photopolymers using 780 nm modelocked Ti-sapphire laser pulses. We also changed valence state of Eu and Sm ions by multi-photon absorption and achieved $\~{\mu}m$ sized spot formation in Sm-doped glasses.

In this paper, we constructed the Littman type and fixed Littrow type tunable external-cavity diode laser systems. The laser output, which is the 0th-order diffracted beam from the diffraction grating in an external cavity, was the single longitudinal mode. Its FWHM was measured as less than 9MHz. With the diode driving current of 140mA and operating temperature of $25^{\circ}C$, the coarse tuning range of 5.375nm was measured for the Littman type, and of 13.65nm was measured for the fixed Littrow type. A fine tuning experiment in which an external mirror was rotated by a PZT driven by a sawtooth wave was performed, and its tuning range of 0.042nm was measured for both types. The fixed Littrow type tunable external-cavity diode laser system was an improvement on the conventional Littrow type tunable laser system in which the output direction varies due to the grating embedded in the mirror plate.

In this paper, we implemented a three dimensional image display system using stereogram and holographic optical memory techniques which can store many images and reconstruct them automatically. In this system, to store and reconstruct stereo images, incident angle of reference beam must be controlled in real time, so we used BPH(binary phase hologram) and LCD(liquid crystal display) for controlling reference beam. The reference beams are acquired by Fourier transform of BPHs which designed with SA(simulated annealing)algorithm, and the BPHs are represented on the LCD with the 0.05 seconds time interval using application software for reconstructing the stereo images. And input images are represented on the LCD without polarizer/analyzer for maintaining uniform beam intensities regardless of the brightness of input images. The input images and BPHs are edited using application software(Photoshop) with having the same recording scheduled time interval in storing. The reconstructed stereo images are acquired by capturing the output images with CCD camera at the behind of the analyzer which transforms phase information into brightness information of images. In output plane, we used a LCD shutter that is synchronized to a monitor that display alternate left and right eye images for depth perception. We demonstrated optical experiment which store and reconstruct four stereo images in BaTiO$_3$ repeatedly using the proposed holographic optical memory techniques.
