摘要：

The possibilities of optimizing data writing and reading in devices of 3D optical memory using photochromic materials are discussed. We quantitatively analyze linear and nonlinear optical properties of induline spiropyran molecules, which allows us to estimate the efficiency of using such materials for implementing 3D optical-memory devices. It is demonstrated that, with an appropriate choice of polarization vectors of laser beams, one can considerably improve the efficiency of two-photon writing in photochromic materials. The problem of reading the data stored in a photochromic material is analyzed. The possibilities of data reading methods with the use of fluorescence and four-photon techniques are compared.
