Abstract
Digital information is represented by surface designs with features smaller than the wavelength of the reading light on the surface of a record carrier, said designs producing continuously varying phases of the light reflected from them in a given direction. The designs are written by ion beam or electron beam milling of the surface of a master record carrier, then replicated onto a plurality of polymeric record carriers by stamping or molding. The records can also be written by applying light induced compaction of the surface materials.
