Abstract: Described is a material composition comprising a crystalline sapphire material doped with two or more dopants, wherein when a primary radiation comprising blue light is propagated through the crystalline material at least a portion of the primary radiation is converted into a first secondary radiation and a second secondary radiation that is emitted from the crystalline material, wherein the first secondary radiation comprises green light and the second secondary radiation comprises red light, and wherein the primary radiation, first secondary radiation and second secondary radiation when combined produce white light. Also described are LED devices employing the material composition as a light transmissive substrate.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for writing information to, reading information from, and erasing information on a luminescent data storage medium comprising Al2O3. The method includes writing and erasing of the information using photoionization via sequential two-photon absorption and non-destructive reading the information using one-photon absorption and confocal fluorescent detection. The apparatuses for writing and reading the information incorporate confocal detection and spherical aberration correction for multilayer volumetric fluorescent data storage. The methods also allow multilevel recording and readout of information for increased storage capacity.
