Abstract
The possibility of erasing information in an arbitrary cell of an optical memory device based on the phenomenon of long-lived photon echo is theoretically considered. Optimal conditions for a maximal number of write–erase cycles in a given cell are obtained, and an experimental setup for observing this effect is proposed.Keywords
