Abstract
Multilayered optical data storage using a spatial soliton, which has the potential to increase the number of recording layers, is proposed and experimentally investigated. A Ti:sapphire pulsed laser focusing near the surface of a Ce-doped Sr0.75Ba0.25Nb2O6 crystal generated a second-harmonic (SH) beam associated with the self-focusing fundamental laser and induced SH collision responses to the counterpropagating laser pulses. Using threshold controls, single-bit data were recorded with a domain-reversal technique at the collision point, and its data were read out through a quasi-phase-matched SH generation process enhanced at the reversed domains. Multilayered recording and selective data rerecording were also demonstrated.
