Three-Dimensional Optical Storage Memory

Parthenopoulos, Dimitri A., Rentzepis, Peter M.·1989·Science

Abstract

A novel three-dimensional (3-D) optical memory device is presented that allows fast random access of the information and extremely high bit densities. This device is based on two-photon writing, reading, and erasing of the information in a photochromic material embedded in a polymer matrix. Absorption and emission data show that two-photon writing and reading of information is feasible. The advantages and properties of such a 3-D optical memory are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
