Image forming and data storage. |
摘要 |
<p>@ A method of forming an image and a radiation-sensitive medium suitable for carrying an image is disclosed. The medium comprises a substrate having a surface structure comprising grooves with a depth of 20 to 100 nanometers. At or close to the surface structure there is a layer of radiation-responsive material which is such that irradiation of selected parts of the structure with radiation of a predetermined polarisation causes radiation to be absorbed at the irradiated parts of the surface so that corresponding areas of the radiation-responsive layer are affected in a way which makes such areas distinguishable from the remaining, non-irradiated areas of the radiation-responsive layer. An image and/or data may be stored in such a medium in analogue, digital or pictorial form, or in a combination of any two or all three of these forms. The invention also provides primary and secondary pre-formed data carrying media, the secondary media being replicated from the primary media. A primary pre-formed data carrying medium is formed by selectively irradiating a radiation-sensitive medium of the invention so as to form an image representative of a predetermined amount of data.</p> |
