Abstract
Optical information media having a support substrate and an inorganic nanomaterial data layer are disclosed. The data layer provides enhanced stability and optical performance as compared to conventional data layers.
Claims14
A method of storing digital data, the method comprising:
- providing an optical information medium comprising:
- at least one support substrate formed into a disc;
- and
- at least one data layer supported by the substrate, the data layer including a core-shell semiconductor nanocrystal;
- and
- writing to the data layer by applying sufficient laser energy to ablate the core-shell semiconductor nanocrystal to cause a change in the reflectivity of the optical information medium.
