Abstract
We have demonstrated storage of 2 Kbits of data at 40 Mbits/s in the E u3+ doped Y2SiO5 crystal using the time-domain echo approach. Preventi ng coherent saturation, caused by the long data pulse train, is critic al to the successful implementation of this technique. The experimenta lly inferred storage capacity of 6 x 10(4) spatial spot demonstrates t he potential of this optical memory.
