The "Atomic / Photonic / Quantum Switch"
Colossal Storage has exclusively licensed two U.S. Patents, # 6,028,835 2/22/00 Delphion and # 6,046,973 4/4/00 Delphion , for An Integrated Read/Write Head Using Non-contact UV/Deep Blue Laser for Ferroelectric High-K Dielectric Ceramic Optical Media.Molecular dissociation following Thomas' patents cover methods for a non-contact photon induced electric field poling using UV space charge fields at the same wavelength as a molecular transition will create controllable clouds of electrons (exciton-polaritons) in harmonic waves (Plasmon). Some organic/inorganic molecules have resonant valence orbit electrons that under the proper UV space charge field photo excitation will allow polarized conduction band electrons (polarons) to move freely for a short time (Popular Inversion). Plasmon known as spin polarized electric current (polarons) along with the electric field present provide a mechanism for ferroelectric perovskite molecules central atom to switch geometric positions. The unique concept of resonant absorption excitation by UV/Blue laser light illumination causing molecular dissociation and simultaneous electric field application ( Pockels effect ) can be used for writing 2D Area or 3D volume data so when it is read back having coherent interference waves in a beam of Soliton Wave photon radiation (below popular inversion).
The single frequency below popular inversion creates many bright or dark bands from the UV light birefringence that are in phase or out of phase with one another. The diffraction of the Soliton Wave by the bistable state nucleus in the center of ferroelectric dipole molecule can therefore be represented as a binary 0 or 1 having either positive and/or negative index of refraction.
Method for writing and reading 1 nm to 300 nm data cell sizes is proprietary.

Thomas' Patents on Non-Contact Photon Induced Electric Field Poling.
The molecule switches at Nanosecond Speeds and has been slowed down considerably to allow the viewer a chance to see the molecule in action.
The UV laser diodes and electric field transducers of the Integrated Read/Write Head can be used in any combination or sequence to control the molecules.
The possibility of quantum interference using qubits is a definite possibility having spintronic entangled particle ghost backup data. Allowing the possibility of having more than one computer accessing the same storage device at the same time increasing bandwidths to commonly shared data storage.
Normally the 1.3 to 5 nanometer molecule can switch at < 160 picoseconds while maintaining non-destructive readout of ferroelectric bistable properties at a 5 nanometer cell size.
This is a very basic schematic showing the Theory of the World's First and Only Concept Created by Michael E. Thomas' of a Non-Contact optical tuning method using UV/Deep Blue Laser Photon Induced Electric Field Poling of the Ferroelectric Molecule .
Colossal's Licensed Nanotechnology will allow the company to be a yearly Multi Billion Dollar disruptive, exotic, and cutting edge company.
One 10 Terabyte to 10 Petabyte and beyond 3.5 in FEdisk would be EQUAL 1,000 to 100,000 Times the Storage Capacity of Blu-Ray or Disk Drives.
Fixed head drive version will have 000 ms seek and 0 ms latency times with Terabits/sec tranfer rates possible. Moving head design is shown below right.
Normally the 1.3 to 5 nanometer molecule can switch at < 160 picoseconds while maintaining non-destructive readout of ferroelectric bistable properties at a 5 nanometer cell size.
Ferroelectric densities of .2 to .5 Petabits = 200 to 500 Terabits sq. in. / 40 Petabits = 40,000 to 100 Petabits = 100,000 Terabits cu.cm. or 200,000 to 500,000 Gigabits sq.in. / 40,000,000 to 100,000,000 Gigabits cu.cm. with symmetrical read / write times of < 160 picoseconds for 100 year non-volatile storage having infinite rewrites.
This is not the end by any means as Tohoku says their target is 4 Petabits a sq. in or 375,000 Terabits cu. cm. using a .4 nanometer cell size.Ferromagnetic - Magnetic disk drive have the next highest density at 50 Terabits sq. cm., The Super Paramagnetic Limit. This density is a particle size prediction ( 10 nm ) where the real operational density is more around 1 Terabits sq. cm. as 50 nanoparticles are needed per 1 data bit cell ( ~ 500 nm ). Perpendicular orientation recording will only delay this dead end a few years at most.
Colossal Storage will not use complex wiring schemes that have impedance, heat, and reliability problems but instead will exceed any storage devices proposed and would enable a storage density of more than 100,000 terabits per cubic centimeter. A ferroelectric storage drive device the size of an iPod nano or 3.5 inch drive could hold enough MP3 music to play for 300,000 years without repeating a song or enough DVD quality video to play movies for 10,000 years without repetition.
3 of America's Top Universities and Scientist are working on completion " Proof of Concept " of ferroelectric materials used in the patented 3D Atomic holographic Optical Storage Disk Drive.
Molecular dissociation following Thomas' patents cover methods for a Non-contact ultraviolet / blue laser photon induced electric field poling using UV at the same wavelength as a molecular transition will create space charge fields of controllable clouds of electrons (popular inversion) in harmonic waves (plasmon).
Thomas found that Ultraviolet light was not only important to create free conduction band electrons (popular inversion) but that UV is the " Fountain of Youth " for ferroelectric molecules. That the use of UV in ferroelectric applications prevents fatigue and pinning of the Atomic Molecular Dipole.
A secret not widely known in the use of ferroelectric materials except by a few ferroelectric materials experts like Colossal.
Some organic/inorganic molecules have resonant valence orbit electrons that under the proper Quantum UV/Blue photoexcitation allow conduction band electrons to move freely for a short time (popular inversion). Plasmon known as electric current along with the nano/microwave electric field present provides a spin current mechanism for ferroelectric perovskite molecules to switch binary positions.
The unique concept of resonant absorption excitation by UV/Blue light causing molecular dissociation and simultaneous electric field application ( Pockels effect ) can be used for writing 3D volume data so when it is read back having coherent interference waves in a beam of UV/Blue photon radiation below popular inversion.
The electrons in ferroelectric materials can be trapped in 2 or more directions causing the center atom of the dipole molecule to change internal geometric positions. This causes the absorption spectrum of the ferroelectric molecule to change creating absorption bands for the UV/Deep Blue photons below popular inversion during reading.
These absorption bands by the electronic traps below popular inversion and the refraction by the central atom appear as light and dark patterns. Certain crystals also exhibit a linear electro-optic effect such that the birefringence occurs when it is placed in an electric field and a beam of light is passed through the sample in the direction of the field.
The single frequency creates many bright or dark bands from the UV light that are in phase or out of phase with one another. The diffraction by the bistable state nucleus in the center of ferroelectric dipole molecule can therefore be represented as a binary 0 or 1.
Ferroelectric non-linear photonic bandgap crystals offer the possibility of controlling and manipulating light within a UV/Deep Blue frequency. The small size of ferroelectric transparent structures makes it possible to fabricate nano-optical devices like volume holographic storage having both positive and negative index of refraction.
An Atomic / Photonic / Molecular / Quantum Switch is the method of using a UV laser atom nanoparticle optical switch defined by a non-contact terahertz nano/microwave electric field modulator using attosecond, femtosecond, and terahertz UV photons (electromagnetic radiation, popular inversion) simultaneously to alter properties of ferroelectric molecules for data and light expression. Through the use of UV photon induced electric field poling and dynamically changing the internal geometry of individual ferroelectric atoms in a 3 dimensional optical crystal coated on a high / low velocity rotated substrate.
The ability to control a nanoelectric molecular switch used in the diffraction of Ultraviolet/Deep Blue photons makes the ferroelectric perovskite NLO photonic materials very attractive for the research and development of 3D volume holographic optical storage.
Ferroelectric non-linear photonic crystal structures provide the media for infinite rewritability of data in a non-volatile holographic storage drive.
The outstanding potentials of ferroelectric molecular materials will revolutionize 3D volume holographic optical storage technologies along with several challenges in design, optimization, fabrication, characterization, and provide for further extensive research and development activities in the field of ferroelectric holographic materials and data storage.
All other known attempts at rewritable holographic storage use electrons clouds by spectral hole technology or heat to store data and as a result have only been able to achieve write once read many devices. Thomas feels this recording method can never be designed to overcome the Niels Bohr Atomic Theory of electron recapture and therefore this type of Bragg/Compton Scattering recording technique is usually destructive readout (WORM) and a short data storage shelf life.
All other holographic storage technology use a massive ferroelectric spatial light modulator (SLM) read/write head assembly which writes one complete page of data at a time. The data must loaded serially to the SLM and is destructively written so any mistakes on the serial loaded SLM means increased wasted time. This method is great for slow WORM data storage but when fast BIT FOR BIT Erase / Write / and Read of random data to a disk is needed in real time day to day applications the slow SLM concept will NOT be able to function.
Colossal Storages method for writing / reading is like having billions of vertical spatial light modulated ( SLM ) pages in one rewritable ferroelectric track, each FeDrive having almost a million tracks. Imagine having billions of SLM on the disk where the optical image data is written / read in bit / byte / word accurately every time at atomic light speeds.
Photon induced electric field poling also provides a unique method for spin currents enabling the electrons to rotate in one of two directions having a spin-up rotation or a spin-down rotation. This will allow for a non-contact floating gate mosfet transistor used in detecting extremely small rapidly changing electric fields.
Michael E. Thomas Invented and Patented the "Theory of Photon Induced Electric Field Poling" in 1998. Since then many colleges, universities, and online reference sources around 2006 like Wikipedia have now included his theory in their teaching and publications.
