Abstract
The system includes a data storage medium comprising cells, an excitation circuit, and an emitter. The cells arranged in a three dimensional space. The excitation circuit excites each cell independently. Exciting a cell changes an optical property of the cell. The emitter emits a first beam onto a first cell during a first excitation period to orient electrical charges within the first cell to a first oriented value and intensity of electric field to a first intensity value. The emitter emits a second beam onto a second cell during a second excitation period to orient electrical charges within the second cell to a second oriented value and intensity of electric field to a second intensity value. The first and second cells maintain the first and the second oriented values and the first and second intensity values after the first and second excitation periods are over, respectively.
