    FIGURE 1. Depiction of the ultrahigh-density optical memory. Red dots represent rare earth ion impurities, and blue dots represent defects onto which the excitation is stored by using near-field energy transfer processes. Many optically addressable RE ions within the diffraction-limited excitation volume (red beam) result in an enhanced bit density.

    FIGURE 1. The refractive index of UV-grade fused silica as a function of wavelength (left); this dispersion can lead to temporal distortion for ultrafast laser pulses. Attempting to focus a white light source through a single lens results in different focal planes for the various component colors (right); this is analogous to how ultrashort pulses experience temporal distortion when passing through a medium.
