Folio Photonics Inc., Solon, OH, has been assigned a patent (11,456,010) developed by Singer, Kenneth D., Pepper Pike, OH, Shiyanovskaya, Irina, Stow, OH, Sussman, Asher, Northfield, OH, Milster, Thomas, and Kim, Young Sik, Tucson, AZ, for “systems and methods for increasing data rate and storage density in multilayer optical discs.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Systems and methods, e.g., optical apparatuses, for digital optical information storage systems that improve the speed, signal to noise, controllability, and data storage density for fluorescent and reflective multilayer optical data storage media. The systems and methods include an optical system for a reading beam of a data channel from a moving single or multi-layer or otherwise 3-dimensional optical information storage medium that comprises at least one optical element characterized by restricting the field of view (FOV) of the reading beam on an associated image plane to 0.3 to 2 Airy disk diameters in a first direction.”

The patent application was filed on June 24, 2020 (16/910,389).
