Abstract
The swept-carrier optical data storage technique1,2 provides high storage density together with high read-write speed. In this technique, data is temporally encoded on a frequency-swept optical data beam. This beam along with a cotemporal, frequency-swept, reference beam illuminate a storage material and act to record the temporal structurre of the data beam. A read beam, identical to the reference beam, later recalls stored data by generating a temporal duplicate of the original data beam.
