Efficient and robust multiphoton data storage in molecular glasses and highly crosslinked polymers

Christopher E. Olson , Michael J. R. Previte & John T. Fourkas

As electronics become ever faster and more powerful, there is growing interest in three-dimensional laser-based optical data storage techniques, which can potentially provide efficient storage at densities significantly higher than those that are likely to be available from magnetic media. The development of inexpensive, efficient and robust media has been a major obstacle in optical data storage.
