At present, the multidimensional optical storage mainly uses a nano grating in quartz glass as a carrier, and the formation of the nano grating requires the combined action of a plurality of pulses, so that the data writing speed is greatly limited. Meanwhile, the capacity threshold generated by the structure is higher, and the power consumption required by data writing is increased. In addition, the multidimensional information reading of the nano grating needs a complex optical system, and the cost of data reading is increased.

Step S3: and processing the object 21 to be detected containing the optical data lattice by using a micro-phase data lattice reading device to finish reading the color polarization signal information of the ultrafast laser and realize multidimensional storage of the ultrafast laser.
As shown in fig. 2, the femtosecond laser processing system includes an ultrafast laser 2, a shutter 3, an attenuator 4, a gram taylor prism 5, a half-wave plate 6, a first total reflection mirror 71, a second total reflection mirror 72, a spatial light modulator 8, a lens group 9, a reflection mirror 10, an objective lens 11, and a displacement stage 14;

Specifically, the irradiation of the ultrafast laser in the uniaxial crystal 13 forms a nanoscale ionization center in the focal region, the nanoscale ionization center expands into a sheet shape due to anisotropy under the effect of the local field enhancement effect of the ultrafast laser to form an anisotropic ionization center, and the uniaxial crystal 13 is subjected to periodic glass transition under the effect of the anisotropic ionization center to form a periodic micro-phase change structure 12 in which glass phases and crystal phases are alternately arranged, wherein the refractive index difference of the glass phases and the crystal phases reaches more than 0.3, so that the refractive index of the irradiation region of the ultrafast laser shows periodic distribution. Because the ionization center is only in the nonlinear ionization region of the focusing point center, the optical diffraction limit can be broken through, the periodic vitrification has sub-wavelength precision, the orientation of the periodic vitrification is vertical to the polarization direction of the ultrafast laser, the period of the self-assembly modification generated grating is generally about 200nm, and the line width of the grating is about 20nm, so that the structure has the phase modulation capability and shows high signal-to-noise interference color under the irradiation of white light. Subsequently, reading of the data is achieved by the integrated color polarization imaging device.

The object 21 to be measured is the uniaxial crystal 13 having the micro-phase change structure 12 formed obtained in step S2.
The step S3 specifically comprises the following steps: first, the polarizer 16 converts the light emitted from the white light source 15 into linearly polarized light; then, the linearly polarized light is incident to the uniaxial crystal 13 along the direction perpendicular to the optical axis 17 of the uniaxial crystal 13, and forms O light and E light after being subjected to birefringence in the uniaxial crystal 13, the O light and the E light are transmitted through the analyzer 18 and are interfered to form color polarized signals with different colors, and then the color polarized signals with different colors are transmitted through the lens 19 and are received by the detector 20, so that the reading of color polarized signal information of the ultrafast laser is completed, and the multidimensional storage of the ultrafast laser is realized. Specifically, the light emitted by the white light source 15 is changed into purer linearly polarized light through the polarizer 16, the polarized light is divided into O light and E light through the crystal, the propagation directions of the O light and the E light in the uniaxial crystal 13 are the same, after passing through the micro-phase transformation structure 12, the O light and the E light in a specific wave band have phase conditions of interference constructive, and when the O light and the E light pass through the analyzer 18, the O light and the E light finally have interference conditions, and excellent polarization signals are expressed. The color polarized signals are collected by the detector 20 after being imaged by the lens 19, and the stored data information is obtained by a data decoding algorithm. And because the orientation of the micro phase change structure 12 has polarization dependence, the micro phase change structure 12 written by different polarization can have different colors, thereby realizing multi-dimensional storage of ultra-fast laser.

The optical data lattice in the step S2 is generated by the spatial light modulator 8 according to the type of information to be stored in one step, the optical data lattice is a coded lattice, the laser irradiation parameters of each point in the lattice are controllable, and the lattice is a pattern formed by points with different parameters or a pattern formed by points with the same parameters; the spatial position of the optical data lattice illumination is achieved by the movement of the displacement stage 14. Specifically, each point in the optical data lattice is composed of a micro-phase change structure, the processing of the lattice is single pulse processing, and only one ultrafast pulse is required to be incident for generating each lattice.
The micro-phase change structure 12 is induced by the ultrafast laser inside the uniaxial crystal 13 to increase the phase difference between the O light and the E light, thereby enhancing the linearly polarized light incident to the uniaxial crystal 13. Preferably, the illumination light source for reading the dot matrix information is a collimated white light source, and the dot matrix information is read by adopting a photoelectric detector with a color imaging function.
In summary, the basic working principle of the micro-phase-change optical storage technology is shown in fig. 5, that is, the ultra-fast laser incident perpendicular to the optical axis 17 is focused by the objective lens 11, writing of the micro-phase-change structure 12 is implemented in the uniaxial crystal 13, and then the color polarization signal carried by the micro-phase-change structure 12 is read by the data extraction device composed of the white light source 15, the polarizer 16, the analyzer 18, the lens 19 and the detector 20.
