Fluorescent Multi-Layer Disc: A Presentation On

The document presents information on fluorescent multi-layer discs (FMDs), a new optical data storage technology. FMDs store digital data across multiple layers in three dimensions, providing greatly increased storage capacity over CDs and DVDs. They work using the phenomenon of photochromism and fluorescent materials to simulate and emit light for reading and writing data across up to 100 layers in a disc similar in size to a CD or DVD. The technology allows for quick parallel access and retrieval of information with greater media tolerances and flexibility than previous optical storage formats.

Fluorescent Multi-Layer Disc

Internal guide Presented by


Mr. Lakshmisagar Nagadatta.P
WHAT IS FMD?
• Fluorescent Multilayer disc is a new technology
developed by Constellation 3D Inc.

• It stores digital data in three dimensions.

• It is a readable and re-writable disc.

• It is an optical data storage disc, similar in size CD-


ROMs And DVDs.
NEED OF FMD?

 Increased disc Capacity

 Quick parallel access and retrieval information.

 Media tolerances.

 Usage Flexibility.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The FMDs works on the phenomenon of
PHOTOCHROMISM.
 The selection of fluorescent material.

 Obtain fluorescent properties.

 Simulation and Emission.

 Filtration and Finish.


Model of FMDs
TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS OF
MANUFACTURE

HOT STAMPING:-
Pressing of sheets.
Formation of layer.

Filling the pits.


Pressing of informational layers.
FMD RECORDING
 Technology Used:- WORM(Write
Once Read Many)
 Two Rules to be followed while
recording.

1. The write laser should able to turn


the fluorescence on or off

2. Threshold power of laser for


recording and less power for
reading
FMD READ DEVICE
 Reading process is carried out with
the help of a photosensitive
element.

 Device can read low-power


fluorescence of 10 MHz.

 Reading speed up to 1GB/sec.

 Mechanical speed of the derive is


450 times lower than that of DVD.
DEVELOPMENTS

• First generation FMDs were to use 650 nm red


lasers, yielding roughly 140 GB per disc.

• Second and third generation FMDs were to use 405 nm blue


lasers, giving capacities of up to a terabyte.

• A newly formed company called D Data Inc. acquired the


patent portfolio of Constellation 3D in 2003, and plans to
reintroduce the technology under the new name of Digital
Multilayer Disk (DMD).
COMPRASION OF DISC LAYERS
CD vs DVD vs FMD

PARAMETERS CD DVD FMD

1.Disc Diameter 1.2mm 1.2mm 1.2mm

2.Capacity 700MB 4.7GB Upto 1 TB


3.Wavelength 780nm 650nm 480-530nm

4. Distance b/w
Tracks 1.6micron 0.85micron 0.80micron

5.No.of layers 1 2 Upto 100


APPLICATIONS
Data warehouses.

E-commerce related data mining.

Storage of very high detailed archive of maps.

PVR (Priya Village Road show), HDTV.

Ability to store a large amount of data in uncompressed format.


ADVANTAGES
Prevents problem of interference since it uses an
incoherent fluorescent light.

Compatible with CD and DVD formats with more


storage area and faster access.

Fluorescent technology do not require special


manufacturing conditions.

Cost of production of FMD is relatively cheap.


It consists multiple data layers, Capacity of each data
layer is 4.7 GB
CONCLUSION
Man’s need for additional storage space is increasing .

The FMD Digital Cinema disc has the potential to


provide a secure, removable, single disc distribution
method.

The FMD can provide us with a staggering 140 GB of


storage space seems to be an enticing solution for the
storage- hungry masses.
