GeO2/organically modified silane (ormosils) organic-inorganic composite films containing azobenzene were prepared by combining sol-gel technology and spin coating method. Optical waveguide properties including the refractive index and thickness of the composite films were characterized by using a prism coupling instrument. Surface morphology and photochemical properties of the composite films were investigated by atomic force microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. Results indicate that the composite films have smooth and neat surface, and excellent optical waveguide performance. Photo-isomerization properties of the composite films were studied by using a UV–Vis spectrophotometer. Optical switching performance of the composite films was also studied under the alternating exposure of 365 nm ultraviolet light and 410 nm visible light. Finally, strip waveguides and microlens arrays were built in the composite films through a UV soft imprint technique. Based on the above results, we believe that the prepared composite films are promising candidates for micro-nano optics and photonic applications, which would allow directly integrating the optical data storage and optical switching devices onto a single chip.

Optical Information Storage

Two-photon three-dimensional optical data storage is an important method to realize high density storage and ultra-high density storage. This paper introduces the the basic principle of two-photon photobleaching optical storage, describes two-photon three-dimensional optical storage system and the absorption and fluorescence spectra of a new type of photobleaching materials BASF in detail, carries out the experimental study that two-photon information is written and read out against a new photobleaching material of BASF using femtosecond pulse laser wavelength is 800nm, and realize two layers of optical information storage, the information point spacing is 8μm and the interlayer distance is 15μm; two-layer information point signal strength is recognized using Recognition algorithm. The experiment proved that new photobleaching material of BASF can be used for two-photon three-dimensional optical storage, that has laid a solid foundation for the high-density and ultra-high density optical information storage materials research.

AbstractRF-magnetron sputtered thin films of silver oxide (AgOx) were recently applied to ultra-high density optical data storage. It has been elucidated that the AgOx film sandwiched by protection layers shows very attractive characteristics in strong light-scattering, local plasmon generation and super-resolution by focussing a laser beam on it. Especially, the combination with an active recording film (optical phase change or magneto-optical) used in the currently recordable optical disks improves the storage density and overcomes the diffraction limit. In this paper, we describe the basic characteristics of nano-scale light scattering centers generated in the AgOx films and the interaction with ultra-high density recorded mark patterns in a near-field region. In addition, we provide the structural transition of the AgOx film by thermal and laser annealing treatment.
