Hello All!
Institute of Automation and Electrometry SB RAS. Optical laboratory

Mastering laser technologies for recording information in volumetric recording media
(3-D technology) is the most promising path for further development and
improving optical memory.
The Institute of Automation and Electrometry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences has developed a two-beam laser
microtechnology for recording digital information in many layers of volumetric
photosensitive environment; it is based on the localization of a volumetric microlattice
(“pit”) during recording and heterodyne multilevel phase-sensitive selection
this structure when reading information.
The technology simultaneously provides such high data packing densities and
read-write speeds that are physically inaccessible to others,
competing methods of recording information.
Information is recorded in photosensitive media with a thickness of about 100 microns in
8 - 10 information layers separated by depth, which corresponds to volumetric
density 10 MB/mm3. Further increasing the number of recording layers by another
order will occur through the use of new threshold volumetric media,
in particular with the mechanism of two-photon absorption.
Increasing registration speed to 256 Mbit/s without significant increasecarrier speed was obtained by introducing additional
high-speed scanning of the laser beam along the radius of the disk. The sweep is carried out from
using a running acousto-optical lens, the high characteristics of which
(scan speed, light efficiency) are ensured by introducing
escort deflector.
The main physical and technical solutions used in the development of the technology
protected by copyright certificates A.S. No. 1349547, No. 1457663, No. 1769233 and
RU patent No. 2017237.
The technology is focused on solving problems of recording information in
promising high-speed digital television systems,
fiber-optic communications, space telemetry and radar, as well as in
modern supercomputer data processing systems and other applications.
