Abstract
We show that a continuous-wave laser beam at an infrared wavelength of 800 nm can be used for two-photon three-dimensional bit data storage in a photobleaching polymer. We successfully demonstrate recording and reading of six layers of data bits with a transverse bit separation of and an axial layer separation of . This result leads to a three-dimensional bit density of approximately .
