image: A focused 473 nm laser beam is irradiated into the glass, and the blue area is the photochromic region of the glass. The 3D optical data are written in transparent glass by a computer ...

Dr Riesen says: "3D optical data storage could potentially allow for up to petabyte level data storage in small data cubes. To put that in perspective, it is believed that the human brain can ...

Optical data storage breakthrough Date: December 4, 2023 Source: City College of New York Summary: Physicists have developed a technique with the potential to enhance optical data storage capacity ...

New optical tech could slash archival costs by 10x or even more Optera Data’s discs could hit 10TB for just $1 - cheaper than ...

Developed by researchers at Southampton University in the UK, the technique uses femtosecond laser pulses to write data in the 3D structure of quartz at the nanoscale.

In Optica Publishing Group's journal, Optica, researchers describe a new high-speed laser writing method for writing data that encompasses two optical dimensions plus three spatial dimensions. The ...

However, scientists have created a new type of optical laser that could increase the data capacity of a single DVD to one petabyte. This would certainly bring back optical media in a big way.

A major driver for the development of holographic photopolymers was the concept of optically storing data in a 3D volume. The traditional approach to this problem was to spatially modulate a laser ...

Sony Corp. has announced development of a blue-laser-based optical disk system for data storage and said it should be available by the end of this year. The system, which has yet to be named, is ...
