چکیده

Optical data storage is being investigated for use in enterprise archival data storage due to its stability, low energy consumption and low total cost of ownership. Here we present results on a method for manufacturing optical discs with dozens of writable layers using polymer coextrusion. This can greatly increase the capacity with low fabrication cost. Data are written by modulating the uorescence of an organic dye, and exhibits a threshold dependence on the laser power, allowing the bits to be welllocalized in the intended layers. This is a result of the heat generated from the absorbed laser power, and is realizablewith a continuouswave laser.We also discuss the lifetime and photostability of the dyes. These combined results promise a media that is lower in cost and higher in capacity than current commercial options.

Two-Photon Absorbing Molecules as Potential Materials for 3D Optical Memory

In this review, recent advances in two-photon absorbing photochromic molecules, as potential materials for 3D optical memory, are presented. The investigations introduced in this review indicate that 3D data storage processing at the molecular level is possible. As 3D memory using two-photon absorption allows advantages over existing systems, the use of two-photon absorbing photochromic molecul...

Simulation and Design of an Organic Quantum Film Electrooptic Switch

In this paper the simulation and design of a quantum-film electro-optic switch is considered. This photonic device, is made from a new organic dipolar material called MNA or 2-methyl-4 nitroaniline, which possesses a high merit in comparison with it's inorganic counterparts (e.g. LiNbO3, GaAs, InSb, Quartz, etc). Montecarlo method is used to simulate the photon-it-electron interaction in this m...

Two-photon exposure of photographic film

Photographic film has commonly been exposed by a single-photon absorption mechanism. We determine the conditions for film exposure by direct two-photon absorption. Using subpicosecond laser pulses, we find that two-photon exposure for commercial film has a threshold fluence and an intensity of 0.0008 J/cm2 and 0.0066 TW/cm2, respectively, well below the optical damage threshold. Multiphoton pho...

Photochromic diarylethene for two-photon 3D optical storage

We had accomplished recording and readout of bit patterns by two-photon 3D optical storage technology using a new photochromic diarylethene, 1,2-bis(2-methyl-5-methylene-n-butylamido-thien-3-yl) perfluorocyclopentene (BMMBTP), as memory medium. The photochromic reaction, both in solution and in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) amorphous film, and fluorescence property of BMMBTP were investigate...

Effect of saturable response to two-photon absorption on the readout signal level of three-dimensional bit optical data storage in a photochromic polymer

We observe a saturable change in the refractive index induced by two-photon absorption in a photochromic polymer, while the erasable nature of the polymer is maintained. As a result, the support region of spatial frequencies of the recorded data bits caused by the refractive index change in the polymer is enlarged. This feature leads to the significant enhancement of the signal level in a refle...
