A Presentation

On
Fluorescent Multi-Layer Disc

Guided By Presented By
Mr. Prahlad Kumawat Rahul Kumar Mahaych
 WHAT IS FMD?
• Fluorescent Multilayer disc is a new technology
developed by Constellation 3D Inc.

• It stores digital data in three dimensions.

• It is a readable and re-writable disc.

• It is an optical data storage disc, simialar in size CD-

ROMs And DVDs.
 NEED OF FMD?

• Increased disc Capacity

• Quick parallel access and retrieval information.

• Media tolerances.

• Usage Flexibility.
 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The FMDs are works on the phenomenon of
PHOTOCHROMISM.

• The selection of fluorescent material.

• Obtain fluorescent properties.

• Simulation and Emission.

• Filteration and Finish.

Model of FMDs
 TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS
OF MANUFACTURE

HOT STAMPING:-
 Pressing of sheets.

 Formation of layer.

 Filling the pits.

 Pressing of informational layers.

 FMD RECORDING
• Technology Used:- WORM(Write
Once Read Many)
• Two Rules to be followed while
recording.

1. The write laser should able to turn

the fluorescense on or off

2. Threshold power of laser for

recording and less power for
reading
 FMD READ DEVICE
• Reading process is carried out with
the help of a photosensitive
element.

• Device can read low-power

fluorescense of 10 MHz.

• Reading speed upto 1GB/sec.

• Mechanical speed of the derive is

450 times lower than that of DVD.

 APPLICATIONS
 Data warehouses.

 E-commerce related data mining.

 Storage of very high detailed archive of

maps.

 PVR (Priya Village Roadshow), HDTV.

 Ability to store a large amount of data in

uncompressed format.
 ADVANTAGES
 Prevents problem of interference since it uses an
incoherent fluorescent light.

 Compatible with CD and DVD formats with more

storage area and faster access.

 Fluorescent technology do not require special

manufacturing conditions.

 Cost of production of FMD is relatively cheap.

 It consists multiple data layers, Capacity of each
data layer is 4.7 GB

 CONCLUSION
 Man’s need for additional storage space is increasing .

 The FMD Digital Cinema disc has the potential to

provide a secure, removable, single disc distribution
method.

 The FMD can provide us with a staggering 140 GB of

storage space seems to be an enticing solution for the
storage- hungry masses.
