Fig. 1: The switchable nanoparticle-based optical data storage system. Luminescent nanoparticles (green spheres) are assembled into ordered patterns and covered with a layer of photoactive molecules.

Now Stefan Preußler and Thomas Schneider from Leipzig, Germany, have implemented the optical delay of a phase-modulated eight-bit signal at a bit rate of 1 Gbps, and achieved a storage time of 60 ns.

As long ago as 1920 it was recognized that optical storage would potentially give the highest possible storage density. However, the realization of reliable optical storage systems had to wait for ...

The past few years Panasonic and Sony have been demonstrating optical disc archiving systems using 12 disk cartridges. With conventional Blu-ray optical discs this gives a native storage capacity ...

New look for optical data storage. 16 May 2007. The first optical memory element to be made from a single gallium nanoparticle could compete with DVD and hard disks. Physicists in the UK have made the ...

The following article on the legality of optical storage was written by and is reprinted with permission of Robert F. Williams, president, Cohasset Associates, Inc., a records management ...

The storage capacity of current optical data storage technologies such as the CD, DVD and Blu-ray disk is, however, restricted by the diffraction limit of the laser used to write to the disk. This ...

What began accidentally could be the foundation for a revolutionary approach to optical data storage. By enhancing and controlling fluorescence exhibited by nanoparticles, scientists can rapidly ...

Given a 532 nm laser, then the maximum storage density on a disc surface is limited to 3.5x10 8 bits/cm 2. If data is encoded in all three dimensions, then the data density can reach as high as 6 ...
