摘要： A memory device. The memory device includes a substrate and an array of nanocrystals formed proximate to the substrate. The array of nanocrystals is electrically insulated to hold charge carriers therein. A presence of charge carriers within the array of nanocrystals represents a first logic state of the memory device. An absence of the charge carriers within the array of nanocrystals represents a second logic state of the memory device. The presence and the absence of the charge carriers is determinable via directing a beam of photons onto the array of nanocrystals and sensing an optical response.

摘要： A method and apparatus for modulating light with an array of nanocrystals. First photons are directed onto an array of nanocrystals and at least a portion of the first photons ate directed by the array of nanocrystals. In one embodiment, the array of nanocrystals emit second photons. A wavelength of the second photons is modulated responsive to a signal. In one embodiment, dopants are formed proximate to the array of nanocrystals and energy from the absorbed portion of the first photons is coupled to the dopants to cause the to emit third photons. An intensity of the third photons is modulated responsive to a signal.
