Abstract
Recently, extensive efforts have been devoted to investigating new generations of data storage devices based on nonmagnetic principles, such as optical data storage systems. Optical data storage systems can provide a unique combination of superior performance features that make them most appropriate for large-memory applications. Optical data storage disks also promise to offer low cost-per-byte, improved accessing characteristics and higher storage efficiency.
