Title: Multi-level optical data storage in a photobleaching polymer using two-photon excitation under continuous wave illumination
Author(s): Day, Daniel J.; Ganic, Djenan; Gu, Min
Abstract: A multi-level recording method is implemented in a photobleaching polymer using two-photon excitation under continuous wave illumination. It is experimentally shown that information encoded with ten levels of darkness can be successfully stored. This multi-level bit optical data storage method is of importance in increasing the storage density of a recording material and the speed of data access.
