Fluorescent Multilayer Card

Using the same 3D optical data storage
technology as the fluorescent multilayer disc
, the fluorescent multilayer card was a memory device proposed by Consallation3D. It consisted of a card containing a square shaped clear part with multiple layers each containing a different fluorescent material capable of emitting light
at a different wavelength
from the other layers. By this approach, the device could contain several layers, each with individually addressable data. It was suggested that a card with the data area roughly 25 mm (one inch) wide could be able to hold 10 GB
of data.
3D optical data storage
3D optical data storage is the term given to any form of optical data storage in which information can be recorded and/or read with three dimensional resolution ....

Fluorescent Multilayer Disc
Fluorescent Multilayer Disc was an optical disc format developed by Constellation 3D that uses fluorescent, rather than reflective materials to store data. Reflective disc formats have a practical limitation of about two layers, primarily due to interference, scatter, and inter-layer cross talk...

Light
Light or visible light is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light has wavelength in a range from about 380 nanometres to about 740 nm, with a frequency range of about 405 THz to 790 THz...
at a different wavelength
Wavelength
In physics, the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.It is usually determined by considering the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase, such as crests, troughs, or zero crossings, and is a...

Gigabyte
The gigabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information storage. The prefix giga means 109 in the International System of Units , therefore 1 gigabyte is...
