Abstract

High contrast and high density three-dimensional optical data storage has been demonstrated using photobleaching in a polymer block in a two-photon laser scanning microscope geometry. Digital information was written to a depth of over 100 μm in the polymer block, with the estimated bit dimensions being 0.5 × 0.5 μm laterally and 3 μm axially. This corresponds to a storage density of the order of 1 × 10¹² bits/cm³. Issues of resolution and image contrast are discussed.
