Abstract

A multi-layered nanoparticles optical disk has been developed for a jitter-free high-density data storage system. The disk has nano structures composed of 300-nm-diameter photosensitive particles and 30-nm-width non-photosensitive buffer rings around them. With the buffer rings into the nanoparticles disk, a conventional confocal microscope equipped with a low numerical aperture (NA) objective picked up a particle’s shape signal to generate a synchronous signal on its own. In the three-dimensional structured disk proposed, no electronically-produced reference signal is necessary for clock data recover (CDR); no jitter occurs in data decoding.
