Abstract

Provided are optical memory device and a method of recording / reproducing information by using the optical memory device. The optical memory device includes a substrate; a first barrier layer formed on the substrate; a quantum well layer; a second barrier layer; a quantum dot layer; and a third barrier layer. The quantum well layer has an energy band gap which is wider than that of the quantum dot layer, and the second barrier layer has an energy band gap which is wider than that of the quantum well layer, so that electrons in excitons which are generated in the quantum dot layer by light of a certain wavelength are captured by the quantum well layer to record information, and then, recorded information may be erased or reproduced by irradiating light of a certain wavelength to the optical memory device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical storage device and a method for recording / reproducing information using the optical storage device, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for recording / reproducing information using the optical properties of quantum dots. Background technique [0002] Due to the rapid development of information and communication technology, the transmission capacity or information volume of the network has greatly increased. Optical fibers are used to achieve high-speed and large-capacity transmission on the network, however, in order to process information, optical signals are converted into electrical signals at nodes of the network. [0003] Since optical signals are converted into electrical signals, the communication rate on the network is limited. Therefore, there is a need for an optical information processing technology that can process information without converting an optical signal into an electrical s...
