  • Abstract
    The optically read ferroelectric memory described utilizes nondestructive optical reading made possible by the unique switching and optical properties of single-crystal ferroelectric bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12). The use of known photoconductor access techniques for the writing operation in conjunction with Bi4Ti3O12crystals provides a completely optically accessed ferroelectric memory.
