  • Multilayer fluorescent optical disc with photosensitive fluorescent material
    Publication number: 20070053279
    Abstract: A multilayer optical memory of WORM (write-once-read-many) type has photosensitive layers with fluorescent reading. The disc contains a transparent substrate and multiple information layers spatially divided from one another by polymer layers and assembled using adhesive layers. Information is stored in a photosensitive substance within spiral grooves. The photosensitive substance can be formed as a continuous layer or as discrete grooves on a non-photosensitive background. Various compositions for the photosensitive substance allow recording in by changing fluorescence bleaching or emitting, with threshold-type recording.

  • Multilayer recordable optical medium with fluorescent reading
    Patent number: 6721257
    Abstract: In a multilayer recordable optical medium, each recording layer includes a luminophore that fluoresces under reading laser light and a quencher capable of quenching the luminophore fluorescence. Initially, the luminophore and the quencher are not intermixed, so that the default state of the luminophore is fluorescent. During writing, focused writing radiation heats a spot in the medium so as to cause the luminophore and the quencher to be intermixed, thereby quenching the fluorescence.
