3-D Digital Storage System to revolutionize storage disk with 1000 GB

Professor Kevin D. Belfield, Chemistry Professor in the University of Central Florida, and his team have come up with the hottest Two-Photon 3-D Optical Data Storage system, which will allow to store tons of documents or data, by shooting two different wavelengths (for specific images) of light onto the recording surface, onto a single disk only, which isn't much thicker than a usual DVD.

To save the disk or data from being ragged out, after using it many a times, Belfield's team will use lasers to compact the huge data onto a disk and at the same time as preserving the superiority of the disk.

And to avoid the use of light to read out the disk, as excessive use of light is harmful for the disk, the team tuned the light in to precise colors or wavelengths to read the information or data. The new disk will store massive data (at least 1,000 GB on multiple layers in a high-definition quality) in comparison to the latest Blu-Ray Disc technology that stores 25 GB on a single layer of a disc and 50 GB on two layers.

The National Science Foundation has granted a $270,000, three-year funding, for the UCF team to carry on its research work over the new technology.

The 3-D Digital Storage System is certainly going to revolutionize the data storage capacity, which will not only help to store massive historical documents but will create complicated databases to have a quick access of critical information to the decision makers.
