Luminescent materials often suffer from thermal quenching (TQ), limiting the continuation of their applications under high temperatures up to 473 K. The formation of defect levels could suppress TQ, but rational synthesis and deep understanding of multiple defects-regulated luminescent materials working in such a wide temperature range still remain challenging. Here, we prepare a negative thermal quenching (NTQ) phosphor LiTaO3 : Tb3 + by introducing gradient defects VTa5−, TbLi2+, and ( VTaTbLi)3 − as identified by advanced experimental and theoretical studies. Its photoluminescence significantly becomes intense with rising temperatures and then slowly increases at 373 to 473 K. The mechanism studies reveal that gradient defects with varied trapping depths could act as energy buffer layers to effectively capture the carriers. Under thermal disturbance, the stored carriers could successively migrate to the activators in consecutive and wide temperature zones, compensating for TQ to enhance luminescence emission. This study initiates the synthesis of multi-defect NTQ phosphors for temperature-dependent applications.
Different from the quenching effect of conventional dyes, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dyes radiate fluorescence with the increase of aggregation state, which is a new application in optical storage. In order to increasing the fluorescence contrast of information recording point, a higher writing beam is required. It means that the fluorescence contrast of information point is not excellent at low writing laser power, which undoubtedly improves the bit error rate of information readout. To circumvent the above problem, we doped Mg2 + ions in tetrastyrene (TPE) resin and found that its fluorescence intensity was enhanced. Under this feature, we use the same writing power and find that the fluorescence contrast of its information is also significantly enhanced. Our results provide a way to realize super-resolution recording for AIE optical storage, and to explore the use of AIE dye doped photopolymers chemical sensors.
We propose an application in optical data storage (ODS) of tetraphenylethene (TPE)-doped photopolymer, which has the attribute of aggregation-induced emission. High-contrast fluorescence intensities of two different photopolymer films were verified. The photopolymer host was solidified at the focal point of a high-numerical-aperture lens. We recorded data points inside the TPE-doped photopolymer matrix by using this property and obtained fluorescence intensity difference between the exposure regions and the non-exposure regions. This attribute paves a new way for ODS and opens the way to exploring the possibility of utilizing the TPE-doped photopolymer as chemical sensors and components of organic light-emitting diodes.
In this work, an optical system with large diameter off-axis parabolic lenses was adopted to achieve diffraction gratings by laser interference exposure. The diffraction wavefront aberration caused by temperature variations was simulated using ZEMAX. Through theoretical analysis and optical simulation, it is proved that the diffraction wavefront aberration of holographic grating caused by the pinhole’s location errors (it is assumed that when the displacement of pinhole exists along one axis, the locations of the pinhole along the other two orthogonal axes are in a state of precise adjustment ) is much larger when the displacement occurs along z axis than along the other two axes, and the diffraction wavefront aberration is the smallest when the displacement occurs along x axis. If the ambient temperature changes by 1 degree, the PV value is 0.0631λ when the location of the pinhole changes by 0.121mm along z axis, 0.0034λor 0.0672λ when the location of the pinhole changes by 0.002mm along x axis or 0.03mm along y axis. To reach the diffraction limit (that means the PV value is 0.25λ), the decentering value of the pinhole along z axis should be less than 0.0341mm. In conclusion, the position error along z axis is an important factor to influence the PV value of diffraction grating, and the effect of temperature on the PV value of diffraction grating can be neglected.

Nowadays, big-data centers still rely on hard drives. However, there is strong evidence that these
surface-storage technologies are approaching fundamental limits that may be difficult to overcome, as
ever-smaller bits become less thermally stable and harder to access. An intriguing approach for next
generation data-storage is to use light to store information throughout the three-dimensional volume of
a material. In this paper, a review of the major achievements of multilayer optical storage by
pre-layered scheme from 2003 is presented and the key technique details are discussed. The authors
conclude that multilayer optical storage techniques by pre-layered scheme could be the strong
candidates for big data center in the years to come.
