Abstract
Optical spectral holeburning is examined for the case when two-frequen cy Raman resonant laser excitation is used in place of conventional si ngle frequency excitation. It is found that Raman coherent population trapping can be used to increase storage capacity beyond the limit giv en by the ratio of optical inhomogeneous to homogeneous Linewidths. Th is is possible because Raman population trapping provides an additiona l storage dimension. Theoretical analysis and practical issues are pre sented.
