Abstract:
A recording signal beam and a recording reference beam are irradiated onto a first surface of a holographic recording medium to write an information as an interference pattern therein. Next, a reflective layer is provided on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the holographic recording medium such that the reflective layer is adhered with the second surface, and a reproducing reference beam is irradiated onto the first surface of the holographic recording medium so as to read a signal beam which is reflected at the reflective layer and reproduced from the holographic recording medium.
Abstract:
An optical data storage medium is provided. The optical data storage medium includes a polymer matrix; a reactant capable of undergoing a change upon triplet excitation, thereby causing a refractive index change; and a non-linear sensitizer capable of absorbing actinic radiation to cause upper triplet energy transfer to said reactant. The refractive index change capacity of the medium is at least about 0.005. The non-linear sensitizer comprises a triarylmethane dye.
Abstract:
An optical data store is specified, having a data storage layer with a non-toxic and biodegradable polymer as light-sensitive storage medium which has photo-inducible anisotropy, for the induction of which a threshold value of the optical intensity has to be exceeded. The light-sensitive material is preferably bacteriorhodopsin which, by way of example, is immobilized in a manner embedded in a suitable matrix material or, if appropriate, in a crosslinked manner. The storage medium permits a high storage density and can be applied in a simple manner, for instance by printing onto a substrate.
