Academic Development
Much of the development of 3D optical data storage has been carried out in universities. The groups that have provided valuable input include:
- Peter T. Rentzepis was the originator of this field, and has recently developed materials free from destructive readout.
- Watt W. Webb codeveloped the two-photon microscope in Bell Labs, and showed 3D recording on photorefractive media.
- Masahiro Irie developed the diarylethene family of photochromic materials.
- Yoshimasa Kawata, Satoshi Kawata and Zouheir Sekkat have developed and worked on several optical data manipulation systems, in particular involving poled polymer systems.
- Kevin C Belfield is developing photochemical systems for 3D optical data storage by the use of resonance energy transfer between molecules, and also develops high 2-photon cross-section materials.
- Seth Marder performed much of the early work developing logical approaches to the molecular design of high 2-photon cross-section chromophores.
- Tom Milster has made many contributions to the theory of 3D optical data storage.
- Robert McLeod has examined the use of microholograms for 3D optical data storage.
- Min Gu has examined confocal readout and methods for its enhancement.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or development:
“The academic expectations for a child just beginning school are minimal. You want your child to come to preschool feeling happy, reasonably secure, and eager to explore and learn.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
