Optical data storage breakthrough increases capacity of diamonds by circumventing the diffraction limit

Physicists at The City College of New York have developed a technique with the potential to enhance optical data storage capacity in diamonds. This is possible by multiplexing the storage in the spectral domain. The research by Richard G. Monge and Tom Delord, members of the Meriles Group in CCNY's Division of Science, is titled "Reversible optical data storage below the diffraction limit" and appears in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
