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:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“For decades child development experts have erroneously directed parents to sing with one voice, a unison chorus of values, politics, disciplinary and loving styles. But duets have greater harmonic possibilities and are more interesting to listen to, so long as cacophony or dissonance remains at acceptable levels.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
