Novel Technique for Volatile Optical Memory Using Solitons

Abstract

Recent advances in optics have shown that solitons have a great potential for upgrading the future optical systems which demand fast and reliable data transfer. Along side Different architectures have evolved to realize an optical computer. Due to difference in processing speeds of optical and electronic devices and usage of opto-electronic converters the efficiency of the optical computers is affected. In this paper we bring a novel technique for volatile optical memory using solitons which would be part of realizing an optical computer. Also the principle of read and write operations in the soliton based volatile memory systems is shown.
