Abstract

The photon echo is unique among nonlinear optical effects in that it involves interference and diffraction in both space and time domain. This intrinsic spatio-temporal property offers multitude of interesting and useful applications in optical storage and processing of temporally as well as spatially encoded data. In this paper we consider the possibility of using stimulated photon echo (SPE) to implement all-optical associative memory of spatial data.
