Erasable Optical Fluorescent Data Storage (EOFS)
Heinz Langhals · Open access LMU (Ludwid Maxmilian's Universitat Munchen) · 1991
A novel principle for optical storage is described which is based on organic fluorescent dyes. The information carrier is the lattice of molecular crystals and the information is read out by solid state fluorescence. The information can be erased by a specific crystal transformation.
