Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new method for optical data storage in a material comprising a carrier and a storage layer which contains a matrix of inorganic or organic material and a chromophore which is adsorbed on the matrix surface, the light having different frequencies in the storage layer spectral holes are generated in the absorption bands of the chromophore.
- Information is stored optically in a large number of storage systems, for example in CD-ROM memories.
- the storage density is 10 to 100 times higher than with conventional magnetic storage devices, but the maximum achievable density is limited to approx. 108 bit / cm2 by the two-dimensional point storage on the surface of the storage medium.
- the reason for this limitation is that a laser beam with a wavelength of approx. 800 nm, as is generally used for reading out information from optical storage systems, cannot be focused further than approx. 1 ⁇ m2 by diffraction phenomena, so that no more than 108 points per cm2 can be optically distinguished.
- FDOS frequency domain optical storage
- FDOS makes use of the fact that chromophores, for example chromophoric molecules, atoms, ions or their aggregates, which are embedded in host matrices which are not strictly organized, for example in real crystals or glasses (polymers or frozen solvents), form a strong inhomogeneous ver - Show broadening of the spectral lines in absorption and emission. This is due to the large number of slightly different installation positions ("sites") that the chromophores can occupy in the matrix. By overlaying the Due to these different installation positions of shifted absorption lines, there is an inhomogeneously broadened absorption band with the half width T.
- chromophores for example chromophoric molecules, atoms, ions or their aggregates, which are embedded in host matrices which are not strictly organized, for example in real crystals or glasses (polymers or frozen solvents
- An absorption or excitation spectrum detected after firing shows a spectral hole at the location of the firing frequency.
- the homogeneous line width r ⁇ * can be determined from the line shape function of the hole.
- the homogeneous line width r-. j rises sharply with increasing temperature and has approximately the same value as the half-value width T j of the absorption band in all systems, even far below room temperature. For this reason and due to the strong electron-phonon coupling, a very low temperature (approx. 4 K) is generally required for spectral hole burning, with liquid helium being used as the coolant.
- the maximum achievable storage density of optical memories can be increased in the following way:
- the frequency of the laser is varied at a focused laser point, so that spectral holes are burned at certain frequency intervals in the absorption band of the molecules exposed to light in the focus become.
- the hole / non-hole pattern generated in this way then contains the bit coding.
- the frequency bit coding at a sampling point can be read out quickly using different methods, for example using frequency modulation techniques.
- the storage density that can be achieved in the frequency dimension depends on how many holes can be burned in the inhomogeneous band of the storage medium, which can be expressed by the ratio of the half-width of the inhomogeneous band r j .homogeneous line width (hole width) r H. In known systems, this ratio is generally 102 to 10- +.
- the capacity of a perforated combustion memory thus expands to approx. 1011 bit / cm 2 and is thus significantly higher than the storage density of conventional optical storage media, which, as already explained, cannot achieve a storage density greater than approx. 108 bit / cm 2 for optical reasons .
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a new method for frequency-selective optical data storage in which spectral holes in absorption bands of chromophoric substances can be generated at temperatures such as are achieved by cooling with liquid nitrogen using light of different frequencies.
- optical data storage in a material containing a support and a storage layer which contains a matrix of inorganic or organic material and a chromophore with spectral holes in the absorption bands with light of different frequencies in the storage layer of the chromophore can be achieved advantageously if one uses a matrix that

- the material used in the method according to the invention has a carrier, with transparent carriers such as glass or plastics being suitable as carriers.

Such products are known per se and are used, for example, as calibration standards in electron microscopy. They come, for example, from the polystyrene series (US-A-4 937 171). Suitable inorganic matrices with a cage structure come, for example, from the series of zeolites or non-zeolitic molecular sieves.

- the ratio of the silicon and aluminum atoms to oxygen is 1: 2 (see Ullmanns Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 4th edition, volume 24, page 575).

- the spaces between the tetrahedra are occupied by drying or calcining water molecules before dehydration.
- Zeolites are divided into different groups according to their structure.
