We have developed a compact and high-power mode-locked fiber laser for multilayered optical memory. Fiber lasers have the potential to be compact and stable light sources that can replace bulk solid-state lasers. To generate high-power pulses, we used stretched-pulse mode locking. The average power and pulse width of the output pulse from the fiber laser that we developed were 109 mW and 2.1 ps, respectively. The dispersion of the output pulse was compensated with an external single-mode fiber of 2.5 m length. The pulse was compressed from 2.1 ps to 93 fs by dispersion compensation. The fiber laser we have developed is possible to use as a light source of multilayered optical memory. We also present a fiber confocal microscope as an alignment-free readout system of multilayered optical memories. The fiber confocal microscope does not require fine pinhole position alignment because the fiber core is used as the point light source and the pinhole, and both of which are always located at the conjugated point. The configuration reduces the required accuracy of pinhole position alignment. With these techniques we can present an all-fiber recording and readout system for multilayered memories.

Here are proposed the tunable laser for optical memory which uses the acousto-optic deflector. This laser includes the acousto-optic deflector in the Littrow mount configuration so that we may control the beam deflection by means of the induced RF. Consequently, we can achieve the higher speed and accuracy to compare with the Littrow monut configuration only.

When femtosecond laser pulses are focused inside the bulk of transparent materials, the intensity in the focal volume becomes high enough to produce permanent structural modifications. This technique has been applied to fabricate three-dimensional photonic structures such as optical memory, waveguides, gratings, and couplers inside a wide variety of transparent materials. In this paper, we review the fabrication of optical elements in glasses with femtosecond laser pulses, including the fabrication of waveguides, couplers, Bragg gratings, zone plates, holographic memory, and micro holes.

Rewritable optical memory devices such as an CD-RW and DVD+RW are data storage media, which take advantage of the different optical properties in the amorphous and crystalline states of phase change materials. The switching property, structural transformation, transformation kinetics and chemical bindings of $Ge_xSb_{100-x}$($6{\le}x{\le}$34) were studied to investigate the feasibility of applying $Ge_xSb_{100-x}$ alloys in optical memory. The $Ge_xSb_{100-x}$ thin film was deposited by RF magnetron co-sputtering system and phase change characteristics were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), static tester, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) and atomic force microscopy (AEM). Optimum fiim composition of $Ge_xSb_{100-x}$ was studied and its minimum time fur laser induced crystallization and optical contrast fur phase transition was performed. These results might be correlated with the binding energies between Ge and Sb, and indicate that $Ge_xSb_{100-x}$ have an potential far optical memory applications.

As the semiconductor industry enters the next century, we are facing to the technological changes and challenges. Optical lithography has driven by the miniaturisation of semiconductor devices and has been accompanied by an increase in wafer productivity and performance through the reduction of the IC image geometries. In the last decade, DRAM(Dynamic Random Access Memories) have been quadrupoling in level of integration every two years. Korean chip makers have been produced the memory devices, mainly DRAM, which are the driving force of IC＇s(Integrated Circuits) development and are the technology indicator for advanced manufacturing. Therefore, Korean chip makers have an important position to predict and lead the patterning technology. In this paper, we will be discussed the limitations of the optical lithography, such as KrF and ArF. And, post optical lithography technology, such as E-beam lithography, EUV and E-beam Projection Lithography shall be introduced.

In this study, PLZT stock solutions were prepared by Sol-Gel processing after the compositions were selected in the memory region of PLZT bulk phase diagram. PLZT solutions were deposited on the ITO glass substrate by spin-coating method. The thin films were annealed by rapid thermal processing. The electric characteristics, hysteresis loop, C-V characteristics of thin films in the memory region were measured in order to investigate the electrical characteristics of PLZT thin films. In selected compositions the decrease in Zr/Ti ratio led to an increase in dielectric constant and the decrease in remanent polarization and coercieve field which brought about slim hysteresis loop.

In this paper the neuron operation based on Brillouin-active fiber in optical fiber is described. The inherent optical feedback by the backscattered stokes wave in optical fiber leads to instabilities in the form of optical chaos. Controlling of chaos induced transient instability in Brillouin-active fiber is implemented with Kerr nonlinearity having a non-instantaneous response in network systems. The controlling chaotic instabilities can lead to multistable periodic states; create optical logic 'on' or high level '1' or 'off', or low level '0'. It is theoretically possible to apply the multi-stability regimes as an optical memory device for encoding and decoding series and complex data transmission in optical systems.

A new associative memory model using the SDF filter, one of the multiple filter for pattern recognition, is suggested in this paper. The SDF filter characteristics such as pattern classification lets the memorized patterns have orthogonal characteristics one another, so that enhances the associative memory's retrieval ability to the original pattern. The computer simulation shows that this new model is very useful in case that the imput patterns are seriously distorted and the cross-correlation between the memorized patterns is very high.

We present a novel method for three-dimensional optical memory and microchannel embedded in fused silica glass. Three-dimensional dot patterning with a femtosecond laser pulse and observation with optical microscope are performed. Dot patterns are created by use of a 0.42 N.A. objective to focus 100 fs laser pulses inside the material. We demonstrate data storage with $2{\mu}m$ dot pitch and $7{\mu}m$layer spacing $(36 Gbit/cm^3)$. A three-dimensional microchannel acting as microfluidic and microoptical components is directly fabricated inside a silica glass. The optical micrographs of the microchannel are obtained by a digital camera of a microscope.
