Data Storage at the Nanoscale

Gan Fuxi is professor at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and Fudan University. He is a pioneer in the development of laser materials and optical data storage technology in China. He was elected a member of the CAS in 1980 and a fellow of the Third World Academy of Sciences in 1994. He is a fellow of the Optical Society of America and the International Society for Optical Engineering. Wang Yang is professor at the Laboratory for High Density Optical Storage Technology, SIOM, CAS. His research interests include laser-induced phase transition, optical memory materials and physics, and optical disk technology and applications. He is co-author of more than 70 scientific papers and 20 technical patents on data storage materials and technology. He is a member of the technical program committees of the International Symposium on Optical Memory and the International Symposium on Optical Storage.
