Remember reading an article a while back where they said they did it. Can’t find it but never really explained how it is even possible or how or why someone said look light lets put some data in itl

I may be going out on a limb but something tells me we are far off from like transmitting a whole book and storing it in light or beam?

There’s no storage in light.
Think about when you talk. The sound comes out, shoots through the air, goes in someone’s ear, and then they interpret and remember what you said.
The light is your voice. It is transmitting data, but if there’s nobody around to hear it, the data is lost.
The light has to hit a receiver, which translates it into usable data and then saves it to a storage device.
