Afterirradiated by ultraviolet (UV) light with a deuteriumlampfor5h, the thickness of filmdecreases largely by 55%, and the refractive index of film changesfrom 1.484 to 1.445 at 550 nm.
Zech (The ADVENT Group of Colorado Springs, CO) noted optical storage technology expert, a new commercial optical storage technology using UVlight would probably have to be in the 200 nm range and would provide storage capacities of over 100 GB in a single layer.
