ABSTRACT:
An optical memory device includes a plurality of optical memory cells, at least one wavelength filter, at least one read/write/erase filter, and a plurality of optical strands, wherein each optical memory cell stores and transmits data in optical form. The optical memory device interacts with an array of photon detectors, an array of lasers, and at least one central processing unit. A method of optically storing data in an optical memory device includes providing an optical memory device including a plurality of optical memory cells, at least one wavelength filter, at least one read/write/erase filter, and a plurality of optical strands; and storing and transmitting data in optical form in at least one of the plurality of optical memory cells.
