We demonstrate optical data storage in fibers and reconstruction by use of low-coherence spectral interferometry. The information was stored means writing fiber Bragg gratings with different central wavelengths at locations the fiber. need only a single short pulse is needed to read all data. maximum theoretical rate that can be obtained our technique 10 Tbits/s. Our useful for identifying users communication networks.
