Optical storage in doped microstructures of alkali halides

Peculiarities of colour centres production and their recombination in photostimulated processes in doped alkali halide microstructures were examined in connection with their practical use as active photostimulable media in miniaturised optoelectronic and photonic devices. The specific interaction of unrelaxed H-centres and electrons with the dopants in different valence and electronic states open a way for widening the scope of multifunctional (logical and mathematical) optical data processing and transfer.
