University of Central Florida, 2003 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Chemistry in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2007 Major Advisor: Kevin D. Belfield © 2007 Claudia C. Corredor ii ABSTRACT Three-dimensional (3D) optical data storage based on two-photon processes provides highly confined excitation in a recording medium and a mechanism for writing and reading data with less cross talk between multiple memory layers, due to the quadratic dependence of two- photon absorption (2PA) on the incident light intensity. The capacity for highly confined excitation and intrinsic 3D resolution affords immense information storage capacity (up to 1012 bits/cm3). Recently, the use of photochromic materials for 3D memory has received intense interest because of several major advantages over current optical systems, including their erasable/rewritable capability, high resolution, and high sensitivity. This work demonstrates a novel two-photon 3D optical storage system based on the modulation of the fluorescence emission of a highly efficient two-photon absorbing fluorescent dye (fluorene derivative) and a photochromic compound (diarylethene). The feasibility of using efficient intermolecular Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (RET) from the non-covalently linked two-photon absorbing fluorescent fluorene derivative to the photochromic diarylethene as a novel read-out method in a two-photon optical data storage system was explored. For the purpose of the development of this novel two-photon 3D optical storage system, linear and two-photon spectroscopic characterization of commercial diarylethenes in solution and in a polymer film and evidence of their cyclization (O→C) and cycloreversion (C→O) reactions induced by two-photon excitation were undertaken. iii For the development of a readout method, Resonance Energy Transfer (RET) from two- photon absorbing fluorene derivatives to photochromic compounds was investigated under one- and two-photon excitation. The Förster’s distances and critical acceptor concentrations were determined for non-bound donor-acceptor pairs in homogeneous molecular ensembles. To the best of my knowledge, modulation of the two-photon fluorescence emission of a dye by a photochromic diarylethene has not been reported as a mechanism to read the recorded information in a 3D optical data storage system. This system was demonstrated to be highly stable and suitable for recording data in thick storage media. The proposed RET-based readout method proved to be non-destructive (exhibiting a loss of the initial fluorescence emission less than 20% of the initial emission after 10,000 readout cycles). Potential application of this system in a rewritable-erasable optical data storage system was proved. As part of the strategy for the development of diarylethenes optimized for 3D optical data storage, derivatives containing π-conjugated fluorene molecules were synthesized and characterized. The final part of this reasearch demonstrated the photostability of fluorene derivatives showing strong molecular polarizability and high fluorescence quantum yields. These compounds are quite promising for application in RET-based two-photon 3D optical data storage. Hence, the photostability of these fluorene derivatives is a key parameter to establish, and facilitates their full utility in critical applications. iv To Celmira Martinez and Alonso Corredor- my guide To Luz, Alvaro, Daniel and Elisa Corena and Lina Corredor- my pride and joy To Martin Nunez- my soulmate To Guillermo Anzola- my inspiration v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Kevin D.

    Is Storage Hierarchy Dead? Co-located Compute-Storage NVRAM-based Architectures for Data-Centric Workloads David Roberts, Jichuan Chang, Parthasarathy Ranganathan, Trevor N. Mudge HP Laboratories HPL-2010-119 Abstract: The increasing gap between the speed of the processor and the time to access the data in the disk has historically been offset with deeper and larger memory hierarchies with multiple levels of SRAM, DRAM, and more recently, Flash layers for caching. However, recent trends that point to a potential slowdown of DRAM growth and the emergence of alternate resistive non-volatile memory technologies and properties of emerging data-centric workloads offer the opportunity to rethink future solutions. Specifically, in this paper, we examine an approach that leverages both the memory-like and disk-like attributes of emerging non-volatile memory technologies. We propose a new architectural building block - called nanostores - that co-locates computation with a single-level data store in a flat hierarchy, and enables large-scale distributed systems for future data-centric workloads. We present a new evaluation methodology to reason about these new architectures, including benchmarks designed to systematically study emerging data-centric workloads. Our evaluation results demonstrate significant potential for performance benefits from our approach (often orders of magnitude) with better energy efficiency.

  • Nanoparticle-Based Multi-Dimensional Optical Data Storage
    Nanoparticle-based multi-dimensional optical data storage A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Xiangping Li Centre for Micro-Photonics Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia For my beloved family. Declaration I, Xiangping Li, declare that this thesis entitled: “Nanoparticle-based multi-dimensional optical data storage" is my own work and has not been submitted previously, in whole or in part, in respect of any other academic award. Xiangping Li Centre for Micro-Photonics Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences Swinburne University of Technology Australia Dated this day, February 27, 2009 Abstract The ever increasing demand for high data storage capacity compels the two-photon (2P) excitation based three-dimensional (3D) bit by bit optical data storage system, where the information is recorded as a localised physical or chemical change inside the volume of recording media. Due to the highly confined property 2P induced optical data storage has higher spatial resolution compared to single-photon induced recording. In addition, less scattering loss allows the information to be recorded deep into the volume of the medium, therefore greatly expanding the storage capacity. In the past decade, the 2P excitation technique has been demonstrated in a variety of materials for the feasibility of high density optical memory. 2P excitation builds up the platform for 3D optical data storage; however, several challenges have limited the development of 2P based optical data storage. First, a high 2P sensitivity and a large 2P absorption cross-section are required to produce a highly efficient recording system.

To accommodate new demands and applications, there has been an improvement in the storage capacity of such devices. However, limitations in the optics have hindered the growth of these devices. The demand for bigger, faster memories has led to significant improvements in conventional memory technologies—hard disk drives & optical disks. But there is strong proof that these two-dimensional storage technologies are approaching fundamental limits- as the wavelength of light and the thermal stability of stored bits. Such limitations may be difficult to surmount. Storing data in three dimensions is a suitable approach to overcome these limitations and to also increase the storage level by a large amount.

This paper, discusses in details the fundamentals of 3D optical data storage. This includes the features of the 3D optical data storage and the major components that make up the devices. Nonresonant Multiphoton, Sequential multiphoton absorption, microholography and data recording are some of the writing methods used in the 3D optical data storage. The major challenges that are facing these devices as discussed in the paper are; media sensitivity, Thermodynamic stability and destructive reading. Index Terms--: 3-Dimensional, technology, data, storage, media, optical (key words) I. INTRODUCTION The best medium for data storage has been a main concern over the past decades. The main digital circulation has been the optical data storage which has been being improved to accommodate new changes in technology and applications. With time, optical data storage has had various limitations such as space and speed have demanded more improvements leading two-dimensional storage devices. These, however, have their limitations which that have demanded more improvement resulting in the three dimension data storage which overcomes all the other limitations due to speed and accommodation of a large amount of data. Optical data storage involves storage of data in an optically readable medium such as storage discs where a device referred to as optical drive uses laser beams to burn bumps of data in writing data on the optically readable medium [14].

  • Secondary Storage
    Memory More commonly known as RAM, memory is a location where information is stored that is currently being being utilized by the operating system, software program, hardware device, and/or the user. There are two types of memory, volatile memory and non-volatile memory. Volatile memory is memory that loses its contents when the computer or hardware device loses power. Computer RAM is a good example of a volatile memory. Non-volatile memory, sometimes abbreviated as NVRAM, is memory that keeps its contents even if the power is lost. CMOS is a good example of a non-volatile memory. Below is an example picture of computer memory. It is very common for users to confuse what memory is exactly. For example, a computer hard drive is sometimes thought of as memory. A hard drive is a type of storage but not memory. As mentioned above, memory is more commonly known as RAM. CMOS Picture of CMOS lithium battery on motherboardAlso known as a Real Time Clock (RTC), Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) or CMOS RAM, CMOS is short for Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor. CMOS is an on-board semiconductor chip powered by a CMOS battery inside computers that stores information such as the system time and system settings for your computer. A CMOS is similar to the Apple Macintosh computer's PRAM. To the right is an image of a CMOS battery on a computers motherboard and the most common CMOS battery you're likely to encounter with your computer. To the right is some examples of other types of batteries that may be used in a computers to power the CMOS memory.
