Workshop: The Applications of Persistent Spectral Holeburning Workshop to be held at Big Sky, Montana on March3-6, 1996.

布雷迪在过去的几年中，持续光谱烧孔（PSHB）的材料和技术不断改进。 这些改进在几个案例中产生了诱人的接近市场可行性的示范项目，但目前还没有可交付产品的计划。 本次研讨会将考虑社区如何克服这一障碍，并开始解决真实的和引人注目的应用程序。 讲习班将包括重点介绍组织委员会确定的关键问题，并就具体问题举行积极的工作组会议。 PSHB既适用于大型市场应用，如数字数据存储和光通信，也适用于较小的市场应用，如瞬态数据传感器和模拟信号处理。 要在实践中应用，PSHB必须克服两个障碍之一： o若要应用于存在竞争技术（例如数据储存）的地方，PSHB系统必须具备足够的优势，以克服对基本硬件技术变化的自然偏见 o要应用于不存在竞争技术的地方，如瞬态信号捕获，应用的优势必须足以支持其发展。 一般而言，新应用的开发障碍低于已建立应用的开发障碍，一旦为新的小型市场应用建立了一项技术（如PSHB），将其转移到已建立的较大市场应用的障碍就会减少。 ***

9633565 Brady The past several years have seen continuing improvement in materials and techniques for persistent spectral holeburning (PSHB). These improvements have in several cases yielded demonstration projects tantalizingly close to marketplace viability but no immediate plans for deliverable products are known. This workshop will consider how the community might overcome this roadblock and begin to address real and compelling applications. The workshop will include focused presentations on key issues identified by the organizing committee and active working group sessions on specific problems. PSHB is applicable to both large market applications like digital data storage and optical communications and to smaller market applications like transient data sensors and analog signal processing. To be applied in practice, PSHB must overcome one of two barriers: o To be applied where there exist competing technologies, such as data storage, a PSHB system must carry sufficient advantages to overcome the natural bias against changes in fundamental hardware technology o To be applied where there exists no competing technologies, such as transient signal capture, the advantages of the application must be sufficient to support its development. In general, the barrier to development for new applications is lower than the barrier to development for established applications and once a technology, such as PSHB, is established for a new small market application, the barrier to transferring it to an established larger market application is reduced. ***
