Three-Dimensional Two-Photon Bit-Recording With a Compact Fiber Laser

We presented a three-dimensional optical memory using a newly developed compact fiber laser. The fiber laser can produce pulse with high peak power of 5.3 kW. This allows two-photon absorption recording for next generation optical recording media possible for consumer application. We demonstrated two-photon absorption recording on a photochromic materials; diarylethene and achieved multilayer recording using the developed fiber laser.
