“…At present, some new optical storage technologies, including near-field optical storage, super-resolution optical storage, holographic optical storage, and multiwavelength optical storage, have been developed. − These optical storage technologies, however, still suffer from limitations associated with the expensive equipment and sophisticated manipulation. , Photochromism, the reversible color change of materials by the induction of light stimulation, is attracting considerable attention as one category of promising optical storage technologies. At present, optical storage applications have been extensively reported in photochromic thin films and ceramics. − Despite the considerable progress made, the achievement of high storage capacity still faces challenges because the optical information has mainly been recorded on the surface of the 2D photochromic storage media. − Hence, integrating multiple dimensions such as space, wavelength, phase, and luminescence into a single optical carrier could be considered to increase the storage capacity. − Glass, as a versatile and amazing material, has good transparency, making it a competitive candidate for multidimensional optical information storage. , In comparison to 2D storage media, a high optical storage capacity could be achieved in photochromic glass by extendsion to transparent 3D bulk dimensions.…”
