具有超分辨率成像系统的光聚合物中三维高密度光数据存储和光子晶体的发展。本项目的目的是开发一种三维(3-D)高密度光学数据存储方法和使用超分辨率成像系统的光聚合物中的光子晶体。结果，有可能在低成本和可擦除的光聚合物中产生大约10Tbit/cm3的3D数据密度，相当于当前数字视频盘(DVD)中信息的3000倍。基于聚合物的三维光子晶体将为光计算技术提供快速、低成本、紧凑的全光学器件。因此，信息高速公路的通行能力和速度将显著提高，从而增强澳大利亚在信息技术方面的国际竞争力。

Development of three-dimensional high-density optical data storage and photonic crystals in photo-polymers with a superresolution imaging system. The aim of this project is to develop a three-dimensional (3-D) high-density optical data storage method and photonic crystals in photo-polymers using a superresolution imaging system. As a result, it is possible to produce a 3-D data density of approximately 10 Tbits/cm3 in low-cost and erasable photo-polymers, equivalent to 3000 times the information in a current digital video disc (DVD). 3-D polymer-based photonic crystals will provide fast, low-cost and compact all-optics devices for optical computing technology. Consequently, the capacity and speed of information super-highways will be significantly increased, which enhances the internationally competitive ability of Australia in information technology.
