Atomic Holographic Nanotechnology will Set the Pace for the Future
The FeDrive functions by Non - Contact Rewritable FeDisk using Ultraviolet / Blue LED in Non-Destructive reading of computer information from a 2D/3D ferroelectric disk.
The drive works by using the Einstein/Planck Theory of Quantum Energy Electrons to control molecular properties by an atoms electron movement/displacement is a binary bit representation of an atomic, photonic or molecular nanoswitch, see the Published nanoTechnology Abstract for more technical details.

Thomas' Patents on Non-Contact Photon Induced Electric Field Poling.
The Colossal Storage wants to also start off with a drive product that will increase Rewritable data transfer bandwidths (EBODS - Extreme Bandwidth Optical Data Storage) to at least 1000 gbits/sec and going up from there.
Ferroelectric NLO Perovskite Transparent Polymers, Gels, and Crystals are artificially created man-made substances with properties not found in nature.
The drive will use ultraviolet or deep blue laser diodes with micro/nano electric field transducer to write data with a non-contact read / write head. An integrated semiconductor head with UV or deep blue laser diode, nanooptical transistor/diode or nanofloating gate mos fet to read data will interface to a ferroelectric media disk.
Photon induced electric field poling is a physical expression created and patented by Michael E. Thomas .
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 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 to move freely for a short time (Popular Inversion). Plasmon known as spin polarized electric current 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 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.
These absorption bands by the electronic traps and the refraction by the central atom appear as light and dark patterns.

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.
The ability to control the diffraction of Ultraviolet photons makes the ferroelectric perovskite NLO photonic materials very attractive for the research and development of 3D volume holographic optical storage. Furthermore, ferroelectric non-linear photonic crystal structures provide the ability for infinite rewritability of 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, and characterization an 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 to store data and as a result have only been able to achieve write once read many devices. Thomas feels this method can never overcome the Niels Bohr Atomic Theory of electron recapture and therefore this type of Bragg/Compton Scattering recording technique is usually destructive readout and a short data storage shelf life like spatial spectral hole technology.All other holographic storage technology use a spatial light modulator (SLM) 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 WORM data storage but when BIT FOR BIT Erase / Write / and Read of random data to a disk is needed in real time day to day applications the 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.
