摘要
A multi-level recording method is implemented in a photobleaching polymer using two-photon excitation under continuous wave illumination. It is experimentally shown that information encoded with ten levels of darkness can be successfully stored. This multi-level bit optical data storage method is of importance in increasing the storage density of a recording material and the speed of data access. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
